i feel like blog posts, like those on substack, medium, etc., are so low-quality that i barely make it a sentence or two before abandoning them.
in theory a site like HN should pre-filter them for me so that i'll only see stuff i'm likely to like, but mostly does not work.
i generally like professional, paid work that has been edited -- fact-checked, etc. -- it's just a lot more likely i will like that work because the quality is generally much higher. but you sacrifice a lot, namely, instead of getting the raw viewpoint of the author, you get viewpoint of the publication owner.
i'd guess the solution is manifold, but prob includes publicly-funded authorship.
