It is concerning that is another cause of a culture vulture trying to make a quick buck off of "South Asian" culture. You are no different than the western imperialist who has done this to the sub continent in the past or those exporting yoga to the west.

Hi - so that we can improve our messaging, what about our mission or our voice makes you feel like we're trying to make a quick buck? One of the reasons we started behind a paywall is to actually not be quick in any way. We want to provide nuanced, thoughtful analysis. We started with a paywall so we could pay our journalists well and not be incentivized by clickbait. Charging a subscription allows us to be a more sustainable business and not just be a 'quick buck' scheme. What other business models have you seen working?
