Hi Jasmine, pleasure to hear from you.

What I mean by this is that in a two-sided marketplace like Substack, you should have your writers operate as public beta testers with a different set of account permissions that allow them to test new features before they are rolled out to the larger substack community. This is a pretty widespread practice for platform companies in my experience, and it allows your most passionate and invested users to invest themselves in improving the platform.
