Honestly, if I see a Substack URL on HN more often than not it’s going to be some biased outrage in reaction to someone else’s biased outrage.

Substack seems to be a pretty efficient echo chamber, having people subscribe to read individual journalists. In a newspaper or magazine, there are still editorial themes, but at least some minimal level of diversity in reporting and viewpoints.

But now you can just get 100% Andrew Sullivan content and read comments by fellow Andrew Sullivan readers.

Sadly, I’d imagine getting enough siloed reinforcement makes one think the article is valid enough to be valuable to HN.

I follow Andrew Sullivan generally, and read this article yesterday. Even so, I completely agree this has no place here.

I agree, what does this post add? How is this more than one guy's opinion on a controversy?

What's next, Bannon's manifesto?
