A Small Update for Our Community – Improving Your Experience
Hi there, 👋
First, I want to express my gratitude for being part of this community. Whether you’re a free or paid subscriber, your support means the world to me, and I appreciate your interest in the content I create.
To ensure everyone gets the best experience, I’m introducing a few changes to managing free and paid subscriptions. Here’s what’s new:
Exclusive Content for Paid Subscribers: In the past, I’ve shared some paid content with free subscribers after a month. However, moving forward, paid content will remain exclusive to paid subscribers. This change ensures that those who support the newsletter financially get the full value of their contribution.
Ad-Free Reading for Paid Subscribers: I’ll be removing the "subscribe" buttons from the paid version of the newsletter to create a cleaner, more focused reading experience. Free subscribers will still see them, but if you're already a paid subscriber, you won’t have to deal with any distractions.
Below is an example of such “Ad” looks like, I know it’s a bit annoying to see it and I don’t like it either (I’ll try to place the it in a spot that’s as unobtrusive as possible, so it doesn’t disrupt the reading flow, and will remove it completely for paid subscribers).
Why Consider Becoming a Paid Subscriber?
Paid subscribers receive:
Exclusive in-depth articles that dive deeper into advanced topics, available only to members.
Early access to new content before it’s shared publicly.
Direct input on future content—paid members can suggest topics or areas they’d like to explore, and I’ll tailor upcoming issues based on those ideas.
An ad-free reading experience, without additional prompts or distractions.
Support for my work, which helps me dedicate more time to producing high-quality content from which you can benefit.
If you’re enjoying the free content but want to take things further, becoming a paid subscriber is a great way to do that—and it directly supports the creation of more in-depth articles, videos, and guides.
That said, if you’re happy as a free subscriber, no worries! I’ll still be sharing valuable content at no cost, and I truly appreciate your support at any level.
Thank you again for being part of this journey. I’m excited to keep creating and growing with all of you!
Warm regards,
Juntao Qiu
