Subscription based writing is all about writing for audience that agrees. Yes it creates bubbles, but economic of it is "people paying to read stuff they agree with".

I think this author makes a number of good points. So I'm part of that audience "that agrees" to a large extent.

But I would never consider subscribing to this newsletter and the biggest reason is the writing style/tone. I find it unpleasant.

So even when people agree with you, you can lose them by being abrasive, unpleasant, unlikable.
