Delightfully useless.

ANJ says it best: "Value is distinct from utility. No one needs caviar, but it’s still valuable. It’s scrumptious! A delight and a luxury."

Part of my motivation for offering a paid option was to support Substack. I think that alone is a good reason.

I'm glad you're doing it.

An app thing, but I confess to not really digging deep into this app, or the Substack UI, as it is not my job any more, and foolishly I assume that they will sort it out. It is their job. FYI It was a very good image of Russian Caviar from last century. I thought it apropos in an oblique way.

I tried with someone else’s post. It worked. In the dialogue box there was a small camera picture, but I have no idea how to toggle that in or off.
