Their best bet for staying alive is to use longform nostr notes running their own private relay.
If their notes offering was actual nostr notes, now that would be diffrent. 😁
One last hurrah and bull-run for subscription-based businesses. Can’t blame them.
With a closed platform, clever cross-selling and 10% cut on all subs… they’re definitely going to make it rain for a while longer
Substack may not be around forever but can’t deny that it nurtured a healthy trend of independent journalism. Any take on which platform will be the next best place for hosting long-form content? Nostr?
They know it’s borrowed time.
Especially with Nostr powered long form content sites like Habla.news, Blogstack.io, self hosted solutions like written, and nblog, once these writers learn about Zaps, they'll come around.
