Summary:
ZINE launches a new landing page and paywall
Why It Matters:
The site removed its entire public archive of articles and replaced it with a simple subscription page. This suggests a shift toward a "closed" community or a new growth strategy focused on email signups rather than open browsing.
What Changed:
- Removed the home page feed featuring dozens of articles and trend reports.
- Deleted navigation links for "META Trends," "Top Picks," and "Strategy."
- Added a prominent subscription box highlighting a 26,000+ subscriber count.
- Added a testimonial from Casey Lewis to build social proof.
- Replaced the full content library with a short mission statement about "cultural intelligence."
