You've described NY Times and Fox News in how they write controversial things to get more traffic. They share the same world, yet have quite dissimilar front pages, because they're tailoring controversy for the value systems of their audiences. The authors on Substack don't need to seek controversy: they just need to point out the rules of the orthodoxy, and then the controversy follows them.
