I don't think 'dynamists' 'lose points' for making use of things that work, whatever their age.
There isn't really an alternative to that anyways. Every new thing has to be built with what's available now. (And then it becomes yet more 'raw material' for new new things.)
Promoting content on substack is still primarily about Twitter for most writers. Hanania is one of the most successful previously unknown people to take off from writing there and his Twitter is non-stop trolling for attention. Nor is that entirely a criticism—he usually has a point.
Even previously established people raking it in on substack like Matt Yglesias and Noah Smith are very effective trolls. Though I enjoy following all of these people, I wonder whether this is the intellectual golden age we were hoping for.

Substack should try to build a new Google Reader!
There wasn't _one_ community – everyone could build their own. It was the nicest 'social media' site/app – by FAR – that I've ever used.
Substack seems to be the monetization platform for Twitter. I wonder if Musk will buy it too, or just expand Twitter to obsolete it.
