Totally agree. Hunter S. Thompson would just be a substack writer with a small following.

Conversely, I am sure there are many substack writers with a small following who would be just as big as Thompson if they were born at a different time.

Not only has media changed but the entire relationship of society with media has changed.

I would compare it to Adele being the only artist in the last 15 years to be on the best-selling album chart and probably wouldn't be there at all if she was 10 years older.
