It's a Twitter hot-take that shouldn't be rewarded. We can expect HNers to be better.

Perhaps your issue is that you believe people can be judged based on their choice of social media, or that your reactions here serve as a "reward" for anything. HN is not Lake Woebegone, where all of the posters are above average.

Is that worse that believing that people should be judged by their understanding of the deeper meanings behind the AMC prestige crime television series Breaking Bad?

There is no one on Gumroad that wants to read books. Substack is more than a e-commerce stripe checkout flow. Author can keep 100% of their earnings (except CC processing fees) if they use a static webpage and a Paypal button; this is missing the point entirely.

You’re saying gumroad doesn’t have the “discoverability” or “reachability”? I’m interested because I wanted to publish my next book through that platform.

If you want discoverability, Amazon is a much better bet. Definitely entails other tradeoffs.
