Columbia Journalism Review: Clio Chang on Substack and its writers. Clio soon lets us know her take:
But as you peruse the lists, something becomes clear: the most successful people on Substack are those who have already been well-served by existing media power structures.

Matt Taibbi, Andrew Sullivan, and most recently, Glenn Greenwald—who offer similar screeds about the dangers of cancel culture and the left—all land in the top ten. (Greenwald’s arrival bumped the like-minded Yascha Mounk to eleventh position; soon, Matthew Yglesias signed up for Substack, too.)
