Hi Kirsten, is there possibly a solution that could allow this to be shared to unpaid subscribers or people who are not substack members without hurting your business model? Like a “unlock your free post” or a free trial or something of that nature. I’ll be sharing what’s available on social media as I think this is a really important mentality to cultivate, and will be encouraging a subscription, but I have doubts on getting people from doom-scrolling to “paying for another subscription” in one fell swoop.

Regardless, thanks so much for this.

Thank you for this, Kirsten. My hurdle: getting my husband to turn off Fox News. For me, it's the constant bickering and complaining that the talking heads there do, non-stop (still, even now that they "won"). I've asked him to stop watching it for my sake, yet he still does (claiming to have it on only for background noise while he works). Your post allowed me another way to go about this that doesn't involve me losing my mind and lambasting him with words I would surely regret.

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
