I found this post on Reddit, which was fortunate but also maybe ironic? Anwyay, thanks again for saying this out loud for many of us (I’m wiling to bet, at least) who agree!
Zines and forums(or forum analogs) are the future.
What is old is new again?
PDF Zines+Substack+paid whatsapp subscription(forum or forum replacement)
Zines trigger the collector mentality in people. Even free ones can create a buzz.
Push the zines through social media like reddit to create a buzz.
AI will make zines easier to produce, btw.
Whatsapp, discord, a paid forum, etc can be for super fans who want to get closer to the creator.
Substack for your podcasts and B material, perhaps.
Reading isnt dead, but the old ways of holding people's attention are cooked. You have to find ways to be as personal as possible nowadays. A regular newsletter or Facebook page just dont cut it right now.
