This week Substack began testing a new feature that lets you upload videos in your posts. What makes it interesting is that you can now have your videos completely behind a paywall without using another service like Youtube that could circumvent it.

Videos could also be a nice bonus for paid subscribers that adds to your existing content. Do you already make video content? And would you consider adding videos to your newsletters?

Plus this week's featured newsletters cover philanthropy, movies and tv, open-source libraries, tech exits, art, and more!
