Historically magazines and papers were easier to get published in than by a book publisher. Vella makes no sense for writers or readers, only for Amazon.
I don't know if THIS iteration is going to be successful or not. But the popularity of short video marketing (YouTube, Instagram, Tik Tok) tells me the market for intellectual property is changing. I think modern, younger users, are interested in short, SHORT media experiences. This is a valid experiment in my eyes. Writers need to consider if their stories can be tailored to fit into a short-read format.
