Take twitch for example. There is plenty of low hanging fruit substack could implement *today* that’d require little effort on either the development side or the creator side and deliver value.
Make some emojis paywall gated for subscribers. Let subscribers pay a little more to gussy up their comments, like highlight them. I’d also love to see an extra spot inside my article for a subscriber to pay for their comment to reach. We should have tiers of subscribers, give me the ability to have multiple threads for each tier like Discord does.
People, or so Amazon reports to investors, pay hundreds of millions to do this for twitch. Let’s get some basics down before we start delivering every dimension of content for 5 dollars a month.
