So make all of your intelligent science publications and classes Free to ALL, then provide several pay options, like I do on my Substack, to allow for tips & donations of any amount, which eliminates subscriber’s worries of having to manage subscriptions. I charge for subscriptions too, but once I confirm the free subscriber is a real person—I gift them “free paid subscriptions,” at least for this first year I get started. But still, most of my content will remain completely free to all, then allowing just paid subscribers to post comments.
Another option would be $5/month, or $30 to $40 /year, with a second higher yearly level of $50 to $70.
Just to give people options. Some authors put out a high price, thinking, "oh, it's only xxx Dollars per day. The problem is that if readers want to support several authors and not just one, those high costs add up to a significant amount sometimes. Thus leading people to say, "oh, I'll just do the free option".
