I perceive a greatly increased volume of criticism of Glen Greenwald on my Twitter feed since he moved to Substack. Makes we wonder if all of the criticism is organic (i.e. readers didn't like how he covered Hunter Biden laptop controversy) or to what extent this criticism is being led by trad media journalists who feel threatened by him leaving the trad media business model.

False dichotomy? It could be that his opinions were appropriately constrained by an editor previously and now is showing worse opinions.
(Note: I don't follow him... not super familiar, but this seems like a weird either/or)
I would classify that as "organic" criticism.
To put another way: are people on twitter criticizing him because they don't like his articles, or because other people on twitter have said that you shouldn't like his articles?
