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.

    Would you agree that by doing this, you are attempting to directly screw the original content creators out of income?
