So, Wilson I spent a 40 year career in payments including a stint at Stripe. Your post was well written! Happy to chat with you further.

Great article.

I think avoiding bundling and tipping is the litmus test for Substack staying close to its mission.

Owning your list and setting the subscription terms is the whole point inside the Substack ecosystem.

Folks who want to tip $2 aren’t the customers you want in the long run…

Thank you for writing this article. You educated me which is how I use Substack. But please don’t threaten me with ads. Substack needs to understand why we are here in the first place!
