Maybe these journalists creating high quality content should combine forces into a sortof aggregate publication where stories from multiple people on multiple topics are published.

The legacy media companies are freaking out because they sold themselves out. Instead of creating value by writing high quality, factual investigative or informative pieces, they tried to extract as much of the existing value as possible by writing terrible, anti-factual lies or gossip pieces (which are cheap).
They have now run out of value to extract. So they’re freaking out.
On the other hand: people on substack are in the value creation phase. Consumers see this and give them money for the value that they are creating.

You joke, but I think people on substack might do this eventually -- there is something to be gained from banding together, and as soon as substack has some sort of "groups" feature I'm sure we'll see some alignment/clustering. What would be even more interesting to me is if Substack actually started offering print versions of certain mailing lists for people who move slower. Has anyone commoditized publishing infrastructure yet? Could someone create infinitely remixable and customizable magazines?
