Pretty sure AHP does comp subscriptions for people who ask; I should have noted that in my original post. I think her standards are what keep people from being butts as well. Another Substack I subscribe to mentioned in a video how refreshing it is to create content and not have hundreds of trolls dragging her. So while the paid model has its limits, I suppose people are less likely to act like total assholes if they're paying to read something. Keeps the bots at bay, too.

Re: space/ocean I am surprised to read you argue that there's 'statistically speaking' nothing to look at in space or the ocean; tell me more about what you mean by that.
