Jessica Yellin says that she’s an “evidence-based creator,” that she has an “obsession with facts,” and so on. But isn’t that just self-promotion? She also says “Substack, for instance, is proving that audiences are willing to stop scrolling and financially support ‘verifiers’ they trust” — but should people trust those “verifiers”? I don’t see anything more here than I promise, I really do care about evidence. What we need is a system of verification, not “creators” who testify on their own behalf. (Of course, we probably won’t get what we need.)
