Since there are more articles (quality ones) getting paywalled these days, I wonder if it would make sense to adopt a similar model to platforms like ShortForm (book summaries) and offer article summaries for a paid subscription plan?

For ref, Lenny’s Newsletter subscription costs about $20 bucks per month and Eric Newcomer’s costs about $27 a month. If I can offer recurring article summaries from both of them at a much lower cost of $5 per month for my users while bearing the cost of actual subscription on my end, it will be a win-win for both my users and me. 🤔 Then it’s a matter of volume and hoping that my own user subscriptions can offset my cost of subscribing to Lenny’s and Newcomver’s.

    While the idea has potential, consider the copyright implications and also the unique value proposition. Maybe focus on adding original analysis to the summaries?
