Totally guessing here, but my take is that subscription models squeeze the middle; they’re part of that ongoing trend. Top authors in general would not go that route (unless amply compensated as marketing for said service, e.g., J.K. Rowling), the large bottom of the writing market does better by subscription than other models, but the middle “cover its costs at best” group who rely on tradpub will continue to get less and less of the pie. Which I personally think is a shame, as my tastes overall tend to neither bestsellers nor self-pubbed.
