    Sounds like a pretty desperate move. One would think subscriptions would come organically.

        Substack had the same message after their latest $100 million fundraising:

        We’ll buy yachts for the board of directors invest in better tools, broader reach, and deeper support for the Nazis and eugenicists writers and creators driving Substack’s ecosystem

      Absolutely but MeeMaw read in the paper that OpenAI is the future of all work and jobs and they’re gonna make $$$$$ so she’s investiging her 401k (sorry I’m bri’ish so I don’t know if that makes sense but the point I’m trying to make is that they will absolutely find bag holders in retail investors once they IPO)
