I personally would love to be able to run ads on my substack - as long as I get a cut. I already advertise my own stuff on substack after all. I also think that people who don't want ads should also be able to opt out of ads.
It's a living example of enshitification. Lie to the plebes; tell them whatever you have to tell them in order to get them to use your product, until such time as you can shift your business model to making your "consumers" the actual product.

Don't hold your breath, Tim. You know as well as anyone how "social media" works, and Substack will be no exception.

I certainly hope not, but my eyes are open for sure.
