What could be less authentic than a "content calendar" when you aren't paying for content on a regular basis, like a daily newspaper. If anyone wants to pay a Substack, YouTube, Patreon, or whatever creator/publisher, they are doing so to support the job they are doing.

And if you trust the party you are paying to support, you should trust that they will only give you content they are proud to produce and they want to produce because they think it will be valuable.

We don't want anyone to publish because they feel obligated, and produce low quality. We want them to publish when they feel inspired and have something meaningful to say. It's like working smarter instead of harder. Produce torrents of bad content to keep a calendar and nobody will support. Produce only quality and many will.
