    Former publisher writer here, from the analog era, and I was just wondering if there were any in or under served areas of the trading world that could benefit from a subscription substack?

    Your main problem is people don't like paying for anything, so the content has to be worth 10x-100x or alternatively just tell be what they want to hear with hindsight, or if you're really good then as it happens, no one is consistently predictive, if so the value is discounted 250x-1000x, yes that's how it works.

    There are a couple of sites you can use that can then seed ideas for writing, I have access to a 3million word / 3,000 article finance and wealth management library written over the past years, 1 of the 100 books have been published using it :D, on substack finance is not very high up in the top newsletters, try asking about their Substack Premium or Pro, they sponsor you to write in the first year.

    AI and ChatGPT don't actually provide anything of value, it's just rat chasing rat, but this is the world today, most don't have any energy these days to create anything new so regurgitate what it provides, except AI has a problem with context, sure it will put most writers out of business but that doesn't make the world a better place, best to leave the minions with their tools and find a niche for yourself.

    The Peach Pit and Doomberg are the top newsletters on Substack, but they are the minors compared to Gartman.

    How much of an amateur are you? How poor are you?

    Enough people will pay. Just not the losers you hang out with.

    really thoughtful hedge fund style ideas. Not the “this will go up because fundamentals are strong.” But rather “the options are mispriced here because they are pricing a 20percent move when history suggests the court trial will be resolved by year end and will produce a 40percent move, and here are the empirical reasons why”

    Another idea would be to take a controversial topic that has twists and turns and really dig into it. For example digging into the regional banks after SVB. That would be good for 2 months.

    To make it worth your while, you don't need a lot of investors, just a few deep pocketed ones. You find 100 guys paying you 10k and you are at 1MM.
     
  10. It is really the total opposite at this point. Most people are a waste of time to communicate with next to chatGPT4. Most humans hallucinate bullshit far more than chatGPT4 that it isn't even close. Most humans though if not hallucinating bullshit really don't know much of anything.

    I completely agree though that the last thing I want to pay for is someone else copy/paste of things from chatGPT. The interaction with chatGPT and my prior knowledge to ask questions is what makes it powerful.

    Not only is there almost nothing I would pay for from substack but there is almost nothing I would even waste my time reading for free. Human communication is more a social thing at this point. It is infotainment.

    If you really have something to say then write a book. It is like people want to find a side gig for money cooking information ramen noodles. Quick, easy, anyone can do it and it cost basically nothing. In other words, totally worthless.
