Nice takedown of nutty Glenn, but does anyone actually read him anymore?

Sadly yes, to judge from the cretins sending me hate mail to defend his honor, though "Glenn Greenwald's honor" is an even bigger oxymoron than "military intelligence."

I looked up his Substack and he’s got 317,000 subscribers. That seems like a large number but where does it fit in the hierarchy of Substack? Is it in the top 10? The top 100? The top 1000?

I think there’s an easy way to look that up, but I don’t know how to do it, maybe you do.

Regardless, he clearly has a significant readership, and those of us who liked him in his early days — along with his fellow emigre’ from Omidyar’s enterprise, Matt Taibbi — are still scratching our heads wondering what the hell happened to these guys.

So yes, I suppose he’s worth the bother of a takedown.
