> This feels like one guy's random opinions about Welcome to substack

  Welcome to any blog really, except that Substack, and before that Medium, somehow gained a reputation of being more worthwhile reads than someone's random wordpress blog.

    It's about presentation. A random WordPress blog (or blogspot or whatever other blogging engine you prefer) has a very specific visual style that denotes "I'm not a professional, I'm just me with an opinion". Medium and Substack visually mimic newspaper columns and give the same kind of cachet to their authors, even when it's not necessarily deserved.

    I mean it could be the opinion of someone thats been writing and working in film criticism... but no, he's a "marxist" that has a book about how the problem with schools is that they ignore race/IQ "science"
