Episode 172: To Paywall or Not To Paywall?
The Making An Effort Podcast with Gabby and Mel
This week Gabs brings Mel up to speed on a current substack scandal where a high profile celeb got low-key bullied off the platform. We discuss the ethics around celebrities monetising their audience, policing peoples presence. It's niche. It's a little granular and we have unformed opinions. When do we paywall? Why do women get scrutinised for this stuff so much more? Don't forget! The Making An Effort Podcast is a listener supported podcast - BEHIND A PAYWALL! Imagine!
