If you want to watch along live, you'll need the Substack app for iOS or Android. For those that miss it I'll likely publish a cleaned up version after at my personal substack, cb.substack.com that will work as a video/podcast/etc.

Would Substack ever want to slightly alter their model, where someone could pay a subscription fee to Substack itself for lets say their 10 favorite Substack Writers? It wouldn't be quite the same as Medium, but for me paying $99 a year for HoS plus $50 a year for Freddie deBoer, plus a few other writers, I'm legit paying $300-500 per year for just a handful of writers exclusive content on here. Is there a way I could access more writers for the same price, where everyone benefits from having more access to more great content on Substack?

If not, I would love to hear why that is not something that is being considered (even just internally). I'm also curious to know the long-term outlook for Substack, too. I'm under the impression that despite all the amazing things Substack has to offer its readers and writers, there are still only a finite number of newsletters that are real money makers.

How have different genres of Substack writers used the platform? Are (e.g.) sportswriters, political pundits, fiction writers, etc. writing more/less frequently, using/not using the Substack’s various software features, taking advantage of monetization in different ways (etc…)?

Does Substack still allow Neo-Nazi writers on their platform?

I do think Mountain time is the best for sports viewing/betting. 10 am on Saturdays and not too tough to stay up for the Hawaii game if you're going full degenerate mode

Most English soccer games would start at 8 instead of 10 though, not a fan.

How about discussing all the attention Bari Weiss brought to Substack and what Substack was like in the B.B. (Before Bari) years?

I'd love to hear about Substack's strategy for protecting against those who want to destroy substack. Threat of advertising dollars. Threat of Apple, Google doing an app takedown. Or Apple, Google making an app store play to steal writer revenue.
