My scientific work and longer essays will always be open to everybody. Subscribing to this blog isn’t like subscribing to TheNew York Times, where you pay a big, faceless corporation to lower the annoying paywall that surrounds their content. This is patronage; it's voting with your dollars for the kind of world you want to live in.Â
Writers find success structuring paid subscriptions in a variety of ways, from offering everything for free, to paywalling specific posts. In Adam’s case, he’s running a donation-based model with readers opting to pay in support of his research.
