Matt Levine makes sense of Wall Street like none other

He's IMO a perfect example of the intractability of the "fake news" problem. It's not that there aren't high quality news sources out there, like Matt Levine, it's that the market (in the form of folks willing to pay for it) isn't there.

(Maybe it's technology? Micropayments still aren't effectively a thing?)

The market for Levine is certainly there. He could easily clear 7 figures on Substack.

Why substack? Wouldn’t Wordpress / namecheap do the trick? Why would he need a discovery platform?

Substack would serve as a billing/subscription management platform for him, not discovery.
