Don't most authors have at least some free content? The only substack where I've regularly encountered locked content on is Emily Oster (who writes about parenting issues). I read on substack a dozen or two times weekly, and I've never found the paywalls to be an issue. Would it be nice to have subscriptions to five or 10 newsletters? Sure. But it would hardly change my life, since most news is available from many outlets, even if you're looking for a particular perspective.
