How we are ramping up Latent Space

	Hello, Substack said you’re an engaged reader so you’re getting this super not personalized but still very genuine email! LS has been a self funded operation by us from the beginning and our top content is always free on YouTube (our major focus for the year), audio, and top essays. These things take a lot of time resources and effort to create though, so in September we experimented with turning on the Substack subscriptions and to our surprise a few hundred of you signed up to support even though we had -no- exclusive content for members. Not enough to go fulltime yet, but def helped pay for production! We recently started trying out more paid-only content to try to reward supporters - basically faster-turnaround, very very slightly paywalled quick hits - which would otherwise never make it out of our writing process because they don’t meet the bar for test of time/notability/comprehensiveness. We hope you like it! If you want to try it out, we have the standard Substack limited-time offer of 20% off a paid subscription for your first year. Because we’re still committed to free, you can ALSO get your subscription by referring ONE personal friend to simply drop in their email. Redeem special offer Here are the benefits you unlock with a paid subscription: Subscriber-only posts and full archive Post comments and join the community SF subscriber-only meetups - planned!
