Nice publication but $39/month - no way this will succeed - needs a different monetization model

@richard_kaplan in fact it has already been incredibly successful. Jesssica, the founder took a huge risk few years ago and its paying off. It’s one of the must tech newsletter with solid scoops.
Echoing @adeel_van. The Information is one of the few subscription-driven independent publications that's working. I'm curious if @jessicalessin can share any numbers. 🤔

@adeel_van@jessicalessin@rrhoover Hi guys! We have hundreds of thousands of registered users, well north of 10,000 subscribers, a team of 35, including the biggest tech news room in the Bay Area and are profitable. What else can I share? Also, if anyone wants to try us out, here's my personal $1 trial thein.fo/r/jessica

I tried, but it's too expensive for news that others also cover
I loved the few articles I've been able to read, no other publication shares that much data and in-depth studies. But there's no way I'll pay that much.
I like the publication, it's very hyperlocal to tech and nicely curated. Will it be possible to publish guest articles? If yes how?

Looks like a great site to get the latest on tech. The cost seems high but clearly you are getting subscribers. With so much competition in this space and many free resources offering tech news, would love to hear how you are going about promoting and the user adoption.
