Very interesting, seems a bit more decentralised than the subscription models like of Substack and BMaC, and a bit like Topmate. What situations you think this will be best utilised for?

The one-off note and weekly subscription feel like two quite different expectations for the inbox. I would be interested in how you make the expected reply time clear before someone pays.
