I think the tooling for pay to read more is on its way, I think you might encrypt everything beyond the read more part… this way unlike sub-stack… you could still get the redundancy, censorship-resistance, and distribution reach of nostr, because Matt’s wrong in thinking any centrally controlled entirety is censor-proof.
One might still want to run up a relay for a locals like community for their subscribers and bundle that, these encrypted long form pay to reads can exists there but also could be relayed for reach, specially if a nation state bans the relay.
