I got to read his columns while working at Bloomberg, and it was really the only thing, besides a few friendships, I took with me when I left. Still subscribed and missing his take on things while he's on parental leave (but of course happy that he is taking so much time off for the sake of his family).

So this might be the place to ask this. The list of articles by Matt Levine on Bloomberg has button at the end that loads 20 older articles, when you click on it. Now since Matt is on parental leave I want to read some older articles, let's say from 2014.

Am I correct, that to do that I need to click 6 (years) * 200 (work days) / 20 (articles per click) = 60 times and wait for the page load to do that?! Is there really no other way to access these articles? Aren't they effectively unaccessible for most users because of that?

(I found a way to manipulate a JS variable to get to the older articles, but this is clearly not the inteded use.)

The same seems to be the case for the youtube videos of a very active vlogger. You can easily access current videos or the first ones, but not like from 4 years in the past.

I am asking this, because I always wonder if I am just to dumb to see the obvious easy way to use these sites or if there just is no way to do it?

My favorite columnist even when he wrote about me. He always takes the time to return my emails. His voice and wit always bring a bit of happiness to my day. I can't wait for him to return to writing and I hope he's enjoying his new kid.

I actually met his wife when I was going through the SDNY. I was hoping to meet him, but the attorney did not recommend I talk to the "media".

from this profile, Matt is very probably underpaid vs his earning potential (probably at least an order of magnitude) and should leave to substack or his own operation. but I respect that money really isn't everything.

Pretty sure he has a Substack called Big that's about monopolies, but I don't think it's paid.
