Hey, so as i mentioned i dont write nearly as much content as id hope. So say for example if the pricing was more like 1-5 $ / post for first n posts in the month and then less $ for more than n posts in the month. etc that way, for people who are like me and publish less content, it is still feasible to subscribe rather than paying flat 8$/mo regardless of if i publish or not. For people who publish way more often, it can still make sense since the overall costs will be similar.
Only slight downside i can see is that it deters the person to publish content since it costs to do so, but i think if you are driven enough to publish anyway, a minor fee is not something you'd mind, esp if you are choosing this over some of the free platforms.
