Same here. In fact, I launched a tirade recently on Qasim Rashid's substack asking why so many writers on this platform also have full time jobs as lawyers, journalists etc., yet they plead poverty and put their Substacks behind paywalls. Substack itself charges no fees, they can publish here for free, but most Substack writers charge readers $5 to $40 a month. Many writers have literally thousands of paid subscribers, so that's a lot of money to pay for what are mostly op-eds.
