Ask HN: How much do high profile journalists make from Substack newsletters?
I often now see high profile journalists quit their jobs to start substack newsletter and I wonder how much do they make and do they sustain on that income ?
Iglesias seems to be onto (or on?) something
It’s been fun to see Freddie deBoer pick fights with Matthew Yglesias now that he’s in his manic phase (Freddie says he’s bipolar, which unlike a claim autism or ADHD, I believe) and not making a lot of sense.
Bipolar makes sense-- but if local charts are any guide, there is so much noise that pareidolia is required to make any diagnosis. Fwiw whatever bipolar afflicts me seem to have a cycle of hours it's interesting to see cycles* of days or months (or if 2 writers might sync up)
*beats? Depending also on whethers posts are pub'd consistently on "highs" or "lows"
