Maybe all of you read every word Matt Levine writes as I do, but in case you don't, here is his explanation:

It's great written and very relevant. I did find the second half where he discusses wework and how to short unicorns more interesting (answer you start your own if you think money is too loose).

His style is unique, particularly for a mainstream title like Bloomberg. I’d love to read a dissection of it.

I love reading his stuff. I would honestly pay up to one of two dozen dollars a month for his very high quality thinking.

I hope this is the future of journalism. Following individual journalists rather than just a topic like business. While the big breaking headlines and opinion pieces get mixed in between.

If I ran WSJ or the like I'd make following the journos a core feature of the product. Some offer it but it's usually tacked on as an after thought.

Totally agreed, and I'm not even much of an investor.

Are you saying that as a Bloomberg subscriber?

I think his interests are not exactly in alignment with Bloomberg...that's why you can subscribe to his column for free, without paying for the rest of Bloomberg. I have a feeling it won't last forever.

I suppose. I see his articles as paywalled but I take it there is another way to them. I could certainly see him successfully moving to something like Substack.

There's no paywall if you sign up for his newsletter: http://link.mail.bloombergbusiness.com/join/4wm/moneystuff-s...
