I like constraint based planning. What is the constraint here on making money through subs? Human beings/consumers? Time the humans have to spend reading? Talent of the writer?



>What is the constraint here on making money through subs?

mostly consumers and disposable income, I imagine. you can only keep up with so much content, and if each content is a cost stream, you will be selective after a while. This is what's happening with the TV streaming wars as we speak.

as for disposable income; spending power has been on the downfall for decades now, and there's speculation of an upcoming recession. Both of those also start to make consumers focus less on spurious entertainment
