Many online naturist resources are free (or nearly so). One is my blog (https://www.naturistplace.com/theblog), which was (astonishingly) ranked #7 in that Feedspot list. However, traditional blogs of any sort (including naturist ones) are out of favor these days.
Substack is a mixed bag. Many naturist accounts there are mostly or entirely free, including mine (https://naturistplace.substack.com/). Substack doesn't charge account creators, but encourages charging subscribers. That's unfortunate, since with only a very few exceptions, the time involved in writing on Substack isn't all that much. Naturists used to be very active on Twitter/X before its self-immolation. But there are now hundreds of active naturist accounts on Bluesky, including mine (https://bsky.app/profile/charles23.bsky.social).
I apologize for the self-promotion. But naturists who write for free on social media have a tough time spreading the word about naturism and their own accounts that promote naturism and explain it to the general public. Unfortunately, too many naturist sources aren't free - since that just makes it harder to find those that are.
My advice to anyone who wants to learn more about naturism and its many pleasures is to put in a little time seeking out the good free resources that are out there.
"To be honest, this feels like standing in front of a banquet table, filled with nourishing and meaningful food, but knowing I can only take a small portion. I wish I could support every voice, because I know how much work and heart goes into creating these resources. I know how important they are for our community’s future. But wishing and affording are not always the same thing."

For those who aren't doing too many groups, blogs of podcasts already, I offer jochanaan.wordpress.com .
