Despite being an avid hate reader, I would definitely pay for this blog if paying for blogs was the sort of thing I would do. Instead, I will continue to seethe for free, especially when I read through and scroll down to the "only for paid subscribers" footers in substack emails.
You make an excellent case and I hope you achieve your goal! I greatly respect that you put truth before tribalism, and I hope that you do become a public intellectual because this stuffed up world needs more people who can respect those who have different opinions to their own.
Sadly I am not able to financially support you. In fact I have been procrastinating about unsubscribing completely, but if I do that now it will look like I've done it because of the pay wall which is not the case.
I just wanted to explain that I have greatly enjoyed the articles I have read but I am 56 and have recently developed osteoarthritis in my thumbs. This is making holding my phone to read your blog increasingly uncomfortable. I got OA in my knees a few years ago, and that meant a big change in my employment and income. It also means I am spending several hours a week walking in my public swimming pool, which leads to a reduction of the time I have to read your current articles, let alone be able to keep up with you writing more! So, to sum up: it's not you, it's me. 😉
May Hashem bless you and keep you. May Hashem shine his countenance on you and be gracious to you. May Hashem lift his countenance upon you and establish you in peace.
Trust me dude I'd be a paid subscriber if I wasn't a poor dude from Latin America with no money. My currency is worth 5 times less than the Dollar. Hope you get enough revenue though - having to go for a low-skill job sucks

I subscribed because I figured you would give the money away, but these extra considerations are also good! Well worth a few pounds

I really thought this was going to be paywalled
These arguments are rationally inescapable for any person with an IQ above 7!
