Daniel Hunter explores the potential of a free content model for Substack writers, drawing inspiration from Heather Cox Richardson's success. Despite offering free content, Richardson earns over $50,000 monthly from paid subscribers, challenging traditional notions of content monetization. Hunter ponders whether writers could thrive by making all content free and relying solely on reader support, emulating patrons of the arts. This model, centered on genuine support rather than access, could foster stronger communities and prioritize creative expression over marketing tactics.
