The fear of "paid subscription fatigue" may be overstated.

There are two categories of monthly subscriptions:

1: one distracts from your world
2: one helps to build a new world

Each of our paid subscriptions can be placed, primarily, into one of the above categories.

Number "1" has demand elasticity. This may explain Quibi's current trouble.

We can only tolerate so many distractions. There's infinite substitutes for entertainment, sensationalism, dopamine hits.

This category includes streaming services, games, digital entertainment.

Number "2" has demand elasticity. It may also compete with continued education, social clubs, corporate networking.

Certain newsletters may improve or outright replace certain social or professional functions.

Example: some of the best newsletters are communities.
