Substack creator Chris Best just wrote about this today (maybe at heart, he’s a socialist too? 😉) I wholeheartedly get behind the idea of creating a “culture future” over a “drug future.”
You know, I'm not sure I've actually really had the experience of "readers" yet per se - rather, they are friends, and we enjoy reading each others' stuff - more like a big writing group than a readership? And I sorta like it that way. We'll see where it leads... :)
Thank you for sharing your perspective! I come from a former socialist country, where this concept didn't work out and harmed people's lives and livelihood. However, I'm glad that in USA we have different choices and that includes how we make money. I definitely don't think I'll be making money with my writing, but I make a little bit by adjacent work (editing and judging).
