  1. I just can't, in good faith, support the business model. $3/month for FW content is far less than the fair price I'd put on it for me, personally, honestly. It's extremely valuable. But anything over a fraction of a penny is just not sustainable. $3/month for every one of my favorite "content creators" would break most people, I think. If sum total wouldn't actually break you, financially, there's still the principle of the thing. Y'all (all y'all creators) have to figure out how to navigate this crazy new ecosystem. It's complicated. I know y'all specifically (Ian and Karl and others) have been on the vanguard on this subject, and I appreciate that. But, at the end of the day, the consumer is done. They're exhausted. They can't keep tacking on these micro-subscriptions again and again and again, on top of the macro-subscriptions, which continue to pile up. Another example of "great in theory; not-so-great in practice." But I have every confidence that y'all will figure it out, and emerge on the other side of this weird transition all the stronger. 👍👍👍
