Interesting article! There's something you are not taking into account: censorship.
Dominant media heavily censors truth. So for truthers, the only way to expose the lies is through free platforms like substack and gab.com (not many left).
For example, What’s your best way to wake-up those who don’t want to open their eyes?
Please share your most effective wake-up strategies.
The more the awakened, the sooner this nightmare will be over!
The most effective strategy is asking about the person’s opinion on some of these topics:
Would you be interested in the story of how a father got 20 million dollars from the Government?
Then, show that every single person on the planet should be suing Pfizer and Moderna for deliberately hiding human DNA in their vaccines, and Pfizer, for injecting an undisclosed carcinogenic monkey virus (SV40) sequence into the cell nucleus of the clueless biohacked, as officially recognized by Health Canada !!!

9/11: two "planes", yet the third tower (WTC7) imploded, free falling on its footprint like in a controlled demolition. It was out of reach, and all 7 World Trade Center towers needed to be rebuilt, not the closer towers not belonging to World Trade Center... and the “owner” took an insurance policy for the WTC against terrorism, just months before, when no one was taking them … he didn’t show up for work precisely on 9/11 … just as his 2 grown up siblings. The inside information about the FUTURE 9/11 event helped masons make trillions by shorting the stock exchange: the records were deleted by the SEC so they wouldn't be prosecuted !!!
- J6: The false flag operation of the fake riot was planned, incited and guided by FBI mason agents, who broke into the Capitol !!! All intel agencies (CIA, FBI, NSA) were founded by masons and are run by them for their own nefarious goals.
In 2022, the same mason-plot was copy-pasted to disband the demonstrations of millions of Brazilians against the stolen elections through the rigged voting machines owned by mason Soros:
- At least since the 90s, vaccines are weaponized to reduce the population, for example:
1. Adding hCG to infertilize women: lab detected in 30 countries
2. Overpassing the FDA 10 ng limit to human DNA “contamination” (tampering) by 2000%, thus causing neuro-damage (autism, asperger, tics, dyslexia in 29% of kids, etc.) and childhood cancer epidemic (n.b. leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas)
The most important impact of the COVID haccines, population-wise, was infertility. Births dropped dramatically. Yet the infertility bomb will fully explode in 20 years: a huge percentage of the babies of the haxxed pregnants and the haxxed children could be infertile. If your unhaxxed children marry haxxed ones, they will probably not have children ... just as planned: the only choice deliberately left for them will be infertile DNA-designed transhumanized babies, for an ever dependency on immoral IVF (for every IVF-born, 25 are lost or murdered), with a prohibitive cost (planned increasing prices of carbon credit).
2. There's proof of deliberate geoengineering to increase global temperatures and droughts and decrease albedo by dissolving clouds with satellite Electro-Magnetic Frequencies.
3. Life involves a carbon cycle. A war on carbon is a war on life, causing food scarcity, increase in food prices and famines. Decarbonization is part of the plan to exterminate 95% of us.
- Apart from sin-empowered demons, what is their main source of power? NOT a coincidence that the USA left dollar convertibility to gold in 1971, precisely triggering the exponential government deficit coupled with the trade deficit and inflation.
This is the Achilles’ heel of all nations: the SSS (Satanic Secret Societies such as masonry) counterfeit paper money and launder trillions with which they buy Banks, seats in the Federal Reserve (the only private-run Central Bank in the world), political careers and parties, puppeticians, judges, listed corporations, media, healthcare corporations and organizations, universities, foundations, etc.
Taking down central banking doesn't solve the problem. Their source of money is counterfeiting, fractional reserve banking and financial unbacked instruments (e.g. derivatives, debt over debt, compound interest above real growth, etc.).
They can act as long as the majority keeps daydreaming. Their worst nightmare is that people wake up, find out all the crimes, and seek justice/revenge. They are only 8000 (now 10K?): 1 against a million. They are very scared and know they are walking a tight rope until CBDC full digi-tatorship.
We've got a very small window of opportunity to fight or ... die (they want to murder 95% of us).
President John Quincy Adams: “Masonry ought forever to be abolished. It is wrong - essentially wrong - a seed of evil, which can never produce any good.”
If you are a mason or know a mason, ask him to ask his 33° master to put in writing and sign it, that Lucifere is not "the great architect" (then who?). If he refuses, then he’ll know he is serving Satan: tell him to get out of masonry NOW.
I think this article was asking "why are we in a subscription era?" or rather "why aren't things free - or freemium?" but wouldn't a better question be (and I write this as someone who has just started here on Sustack with a small audience some of whom upgraded to pay, and as someone with several of my own subscriptions in real life)... are people happy to subscribe to services which make life better and easier, that entertain and meet specific needs and wants... i find the answer is yes.
There is a question inside about dog food, I subscribed at one point to a dog food service, it was great i didnt have to remember to get wet and dry food every month... it was individual to my dog and grain free.. it was reasonable price so why not. but then the quality went off during covid so I left the subscription and now have to pick it up we go, it costs more! I want my subscription back but its about quality. I think the same goes for any subscription, if you are quality and consistent people will subscribe.
I hesitate to mention this, but what about the possibility that writing is simply more like professional sports than writers on Substack would like to admit? Just like the number of people that currently make a living playing basketball is under a thousand, it may be that the market for writers is really small. Historically this was definitely true, considering that some of the world's best writers lived in near poverty and often had to support themselves with other occupations. It may turn out that while many people enjoy writing as a hobby, the brutal truth is that there are only a tiny number whose work is something people are willing to pay for. I think in the case of the NYT, we definitely see the Pareto principle at work: I e. 20% of their writers are responsible for pulling in 80% of the paying subscribers.
I've written at least five articles on Substack trends and reached the same conclusion you have. Thanks for this article. I hope I can correspond with you on this subject in the future. What's the work-around?
Hi Nick, I agree with you that "creative re-bundling" needs to be the future direction. It is difficult to see how this can work in practice. I think Substack's plan for ambitious growth will hit a ceiling for the reasons you mention. While I appreciate their commitment to text, one option would be for Substack to choose certain lesser-known / younger creators with success on the platform and take on a managerial role to build them into brands (editing support, podcast support, etc). If you could create more Taibbis, etc, with a range of perspectives and different areas of focus, that would be great - and also good for the culture as a whole.
This is super interesting Nick! Just subscribed to your newsletter, looks right up my street re the topics you cover. A lot of this feels really true. I've noticed after 6 years of podcasting that there's been a noticeable decline in energy/resources/spend - and happens to most industries eventually as you say. But I feel like Substack is only just getting started, especially in the UK. I don't think it's an apples-apples thing comparing a Substack subscription to The Times. Substack isn't really about paying for journalism (that's just one part of it) - you're paying for the access/thoughts/writing/content from a fave writer which feels really different to paying for a newspaper. The product feels very different to me. But like you say, we can't pay for everything so ultimately we'll have to choose at some point, which is interesting in itself i.e. what people will value more and what that means for big companies.
Thanks for reading, and I appreciate your thoughts here.
I am very much for making journalism – both from the production and consumption ends – more sustainable, and I do think that Sustack offers an interesting new mechanic here. It's why I write on it, I guess. I'm just conscious that while it's financially beneficial to the top 1-5% of writers (at a guess) compared to their opportunities in "traditional" media, it's approaching the point of being unsustainable for audiences. Like you say, they will have to decide what they value.
As to the idea that Substack subscribers are paying for more than just journalism, that's definitely true – I'm just not sure it's a good thing. Again, we could look at an industry – streaming video – that's a half-decade or so ahead in this cycle. The task of being both broadcaster, community manager and individualised mentor/therapist/idol to subscribers has taken a huge toll. I think mental health issues, like burnout, the erosion of privacy and work/life balance in the streaming community are all good reasons to keep a firm, clear line between creator and audience. But I definitely agree that the current systems encourage familiarity and, as you say, access. Personally, I prefer journalism to have slightly more distance from its consumers.

That usually works, especially with young couples having children.
If the person doesn’t want to discuss injections, then food is a good start:

How Rumsfeld forced the approval of Aspartame.
Artificial sweeteners, MSG, PFAS, Glyphosate ... go organic!
