Update on paid subscriptions

I’ve recently opened paid subscriptions, with the idea that I can use the proceeds to pay for my subscriptions to other Substacks. In our fallen times, that’s as close as I can get to the free exchange of the early 2000s, much smaller, blogosphere.

As I’ve stated, free subscribers get full access to all my newsletters. But as a special reward for paid subscribers, I'm inviting you to nominate additional substacks that deserve a paid subscription from me. Comments on this post will be limited to paid subscribers.

Here’s a progress report. 28 generous readers have subscribed, yielding payments of $1545 so far. On the other side of the balance, I’ve taken out paid subscriptions to:

Age of Invention

Brad DeLong's Grasping Reality

Dan Davies - "Back of Mind"

digressionsimpressions’s Substack

Drezner’s World

The Future of Everything

Graphs about Religion

Noahpinion

Notes from the Middleground

Unpopular Front

Volts

with a total cost of $939. So, I have a bit over $600 left, which (on average) should be enough to pay for six or seven new subscriptions.
