I would read a Vella if one of my top favorite authors did it but otherwise I have no interest.
ATM--and this is a soft rollout, we all know that, so...{shrug}, there is zero danger that I'll ever even expend my 200 free tokens on Vella. Seriously, I haven't seen a single story that I could tolerate for more than 5 paragraphs. I am very very obviously NOT the target market. I can't read tense switches and POV switches 2x in the same paragraph, rampant typos, grammar errors, etc. I just can't.
