Comments are hard, and I'm very sympathetic to the idea you don't want to spend time policing them and it's not your priority to hire somebody to do it for you. I think locking comments down to paid subscribers is worth a good shot.

More than that, though, I just think it's good when people explain what they're doing and why they're doing it, even if I judge that their final decision stinks.

I've found other substacks to have higher quality comments when it's subscriber only, and I think it's a nice perk as a paying subscriber to have my occasional comment a higher chance of being read.
