Now can someone please do the same for podcasts and substack….

I wonder how the translators cope...

Instagram to start monthly subscription to get rid of ads.

It has become unusable over the last year or so because of ads and sponsored content overwhelming the accounts you do want to view.

Is there anything like Substack where I can pay a general subscription and read a variety of content from different authors?
Similarly Podcasts.. I can’t subscribe to them all, but I’m really keen to support the creators.
