A lot of journalists have gone down a very tracked and credentialed path, having gone through prestigious institution after prestigious institution to end up in another prestigious institution.

To see someone bypass all the gatekeepers and yet become more of a success than them must really grind their gears.

I doubt they care. I'd never hard of several of the "special substack successes". Who has time to go out searching the world for journalists who write things they like? I read newspapers in part because I don't want to search the world. I'm aware that no one is perfect. Just like I don't say cultivate the best people on twitter to follow. Who has so much time to waste on that? I'm sorry but all this comes across as people just searching for someone who tells them what they want to hear.

  "I doubt they care"

Jealousy and envy is often what's behind bitterness and resentment
