More prestigious bylines have usually meant worse stories, at least in my case
For one, there's often way too much editing, as opposed to the meaningful assistance I get from the Ringer and MEL and the hands-off treatment I receive from ST. Then there's a load of "layperson service" that occupies half the word count leading to a very modest finish
Looks nice on the e-shelf, I guess, but it takes a miracle to get something good (something I think is good) vs. the more compromised content that lands in the prestige format (or advertising copy, but staffers and publicists usually team up on that)
The thing I did for CJR was solid, but they're hardly mainstream, and my last three Paris Review essays were good but not nearly as popular as the first two (I'd significantly revise the first one now, if given it to do all over again)
My AJAM op-eds were on interesting and less covered topics, at least for the time, but op-eds are more like fan service than anything else (those dumbed down 1000 word things in NYT are often bragged about by acquaintances, but they're insulting to the intelligence of experts)
Maybe it will be a different story now that prestige places are pitching me instead of vice versa. That's my hope, anyway. What I bring to the table isn't useful if editorial keeps clearing off that table.
