Buttondown lets you send emails to just paying subscribers of the newsletter, kinda like substack. I was playing around with the config and didn't realize it would ask people to pay! I am very dumb.

Anyway, I disabled it. There is no paying-subscriber-only content and I don't plan to offer any in the near future. Sorry about that!

There's some archive posts[1] that are only for newsletter subscribers. Those are usually first drafts of blog posts I'm writing and don't want to be shareable yet. But that's just a newsletter subscription and totally free.
