Reader here, not "author". There is a lot of good stuff, but the subscription fees add up. How 'bout discounts for multiple subscriptions? Or maybe a package deal on a group of authors with different viewpoints.

Multiple subscriptions here on Substack are a problem for the reader -- and it is adding to the subscription fees for apps.
My solution for me as a customer:
- Only use apps that are Open Source
- or use apps that are part of the OS (like Notes.app)
- always prefer one-time payment options
- and for subscriptions on Substack be very careful what is really needed.
As a writer (just starting here on Substack) I have decided to
- give all newsletter content for free,
- offer only personal services as paid subscriptions
- and mainly offer courses on other platforms for those who need to learn systematically and in-depth. It is a one-time decision, the customer is in control of the monthly expenses.
Your suggestion sounds great: Getting discount from Substack when a certain amount of paid subscriptions is reached, or to offer package deals. On the other hands, things will get closer to Skillshare or Udemy in that case...
