I'd sack off my Yglesias sub which is too US focused for me, and give it to you, but for now I'd probably pay £3-4ish/mo, on the basis that for $8 with Slow Boring I get content daily, though often content I don't read.
For $7 with Noahpinion, I also get daily content. However Noah is unreasonably prolific and it's not worth trying to compete with that.
Good comp would probably be with my last paid sub, Comment is Freed at £3.50/month for a post every 4-7 days, which I find good value as they're all of interest to me.
Oh man, don't drop Yglesias! He's the master! Agree that Comment is Freed is absurdly good value, impossible not to read Sam or his dad without feeling like you've just got a bit smarter.
One more for the “unsubscribed and subscribed again a bunch of times, app and website both seem to not give me the option to pre-pay” pile here guv’nor
Agh, how annoying. I *think* you might be able to do it by going to the “settings” for my Substack, and going to “manage subscription” or something like that?
Hi James, Not sure why but when I click on pre-pledge it brings me to 3 recommendations and then to the Share page and then back to your home page. Any clue where I can actually pre-pledge?
Can I ringfence my sub so it's spent purely on cat feeding expenses?
Alas, I’m still waiting for the Treasury to decide whether the cats represent “value for money”. 😩
I’ve enjoyed your writing too much to deny you £3-4 a month if you ask for it.
Struggling to figure out how to pledge but love your writing and would be up for £3-4 a month

Well, I just had a quick look and I think 2-3 of his last 20 posts caught my interest vs 5 of 7 on Odds and Ends.
Better value for money to support you as long as I get more content as a result of that.

Sorted it through the website, no fahkin’ idea how the app thinks I’m supposed to do it
Ha, thanks man! Appreciate it!
Tl;dw hope it works, numbers don't add up for me (for solo substacks in general; the future could be PAYG precarity)

I think it's because you've already done it!
Good stuff.
