IMO robin is quite repetitive (even relative to other blogs like Scott Alexander’s blog). So the quality is maybe the same, but the marginal value add seems to me to be substantially degrading.
I think that his insights are very repetitive, but the application of them is very diverse, and few feel comfortable or able applying them but him. And this is what allows him to have similar quality for almost 20 years.
Scott Alexander not so, his insights are diverse, but their applications not that much, but this means he’s degrading from his high.
(I also think he’s just a damn good writer, which also degrades to the mean. Robin was never a good writer)
