Agree 100% Ben Thompson Stachery said that Substack could and should introduce youtube style ads (as in they manage ad inventory not individual creators) paid subs are ad free the rest get ads
2nd alternative is bundling, 4 or 5 creators join forces less per subscriber but more overall revenue

For comparison i can subscribe to the NY Times City Journal print edition (posted Germany!) and Unherd for the same cost as a single substack

I am not a fan of the adds. They are annoying.
I also think it distracts from the commentary!
I would be willing to pay a small fee for the content.
I DO NOT want ads on Substack. People can have affiliate links instead if they choose. Those are not intrusive like an ad.
No to ads!
