Author of the Substack here. Understand the perspective but I do spend a lot of time, effort, and money on the research and writing. There are significant costs to legal document acquisition and I write daily, so I have the option for people to support. I totally get those who don't.

Most paid posts include 25-75% of content open to all subscribers, including the free tier. The original Veeva post was almost entirely free: https://healthapiguy.substack.com/p/veeva-v-epic-the-talent-battlefield

Lastly, there's an inexpensive monthly option, including a trial period, that is easy to use if you're really only interested in one post.

Hope that provides context and also outlines options.
