How do you earn money with Substack if you don’t paywall anything?

[habryka]

You use it more like a Patreon. I don't think it's easy, but it works for at least some people like Scott at AstralCodexTen (who arguably has some paywalled essays, but it's extremely rare and I doubt it's the reason why almost anyone is subscribed to him).

So content is free, and readers can make a donation?

[habryka]

Yep, something like that.
