Happy weekend readers,
Sending a final reminder that our first-ever “choose your own discount” sale ends this weekend. Specifically, you may choose between:
Or, you can mix and match, if you want to buy your friends and family members discounted subscriptions! Who am I to limit you?!
I decided to organize the fall membership drive this way mostly for my own amusement, and (to a much smaller extent) to understand my free subscribers, and this newsletter’s value proposition, a tiny bit better. How well priced are we? How many of you are satisfied with our free offerings? How many would like to subscribe at a lower price? How many of you just needed a reminder to sign up for a full membership? And so on.
Remember, too: if you don’t want to create a Substack account, or don’t want Substack to take a cut, but you do want to read our emails in full, I’ve created a backdoor: From here on out, you can make a direct donation [ [link removed] ] to Off Message, and, for the remainder of the weekend, I will comp anyone who donates $25 or more with a one-year subscription. All of our articles, no more paywalls.
Thank you for riding with us. If it wasn’t for our full subscriber base, nobody would take our work seriously, and we’d have a much smaller impact on the world.
With all my gratitude,
Brian
