and ironically if the whole thing explodes so does his paycheck. similarly if the whole thing succeeds so does his paycheck. and if everyone agrees with him that ai is bad, he suddenly has to compete with all the journalists that agree with him

ergo substackers must all be permanently subversive

he does real journalistic investigation to some extent, imo hes definitely not the worst "substack guy."

but if ai is "even worse than everyone thought!!" his paycheck goes up; if it's nuanced at all, his paycheck goes down

substack sort of leads to people forming a job, marketing, fanbase, intl renown, etc around a single idea. one of the most obvious ones is matt stoller. his thing is "monopolies are bad." i basically agree, but it led to some really bad takes esp re trump reelection...

zitron's is "ai is bad"

here's why. even fucking orban's hungary and erdogan's turkiye are less transphobic than brits. www.thepinknews.com/2025/11/26/u...
Britain is the least supportive G7 country on trans rights
The UK has the worst opinion on trans rights out of every G7 country, according to a survey sample from IPSOS.

for this to work you need a political party that would be more left once in power, instead of immediately becoming more moderate.

unfortunately we don't have one of those!
