As a TikToker with 34,000 followers… You forgot to tell me why I would take the time to post my video over here when I can’t create, or edit them over here. So I still create over there, and then come here and upload the video that I could just post on TikTok?
Or is the entire goal just to monetize my audience? That feels gross.
Also… I didn’t come to Substack to do more videos.
I came to Substack to write. To read writers’ content. And from all of their posts and notes, the reason they all came and stay is because they can WRITE. So this push you have for video and begging TikTokers to come over to change the platform, also feels a little bit like spitting in the face of the people who built Substack to what it is.
It rounds out the platform, with writers now able to post occasional videos to their audience. Don't think it's meant to replace or change it in any meaningful way.
I hope you're correct. However, as a TechWitch of 15 years, a content creator for 10, and an influencer for 5, with a husband in tech and marketing for 17 years...I do not have that much faith in these platforms once they decide to "have all the things".
I've seen way too many go down the toilet when they try to implement everything everyone else is doing instead of focus on what can enhance their original reason for growing so large.
Tik Tok is being shut down because the powers that shouldn't be don't have the control over it to censor inconvenient truth. Their lying narratives are failing so they need censorship. Too much truth about reality is being exposed. Certain people who are above criticism are being rightfully exposed. And the US needs that stopped, that's why Trump was placed back in the Whitehouse. Both candidates are controlled by TPTB and now that they have a permanent divide they need Trump and the right to be all in on antisemitism laws. AIPAC wants tik tok shut down. The ADL, southern poverty law center. Look how fast the protests on college campuses were shut down. With the threat to the protesters never being eligible to get jobs for protesting against atrocities. To know who rules you, simply find out who you're not allowed to criticize!
I still think the “we can do it all!!” approach is stupid for companies. But since data breaches aren’t their actual concern, otherwise Meta would have been shut down a decade ago, NOW if you can’t do YouTube then sure. Post videos on a writing app.
I’ll be honest, I’ll probably do it now as well since my hand is forced. But “posting videos” so you can still post videos will never have the same impact as TikTok. So if we’re hoping to “transfer our audience” and have a modicum of success like we did on the revolutionary app that supports the First Amendment in a way no one could predict, then we’re all about to have a VERY rude awakening.
I have 679,000 on TiKTok and have been working for a while to move them over. I will use TikTok to tease articles I write on Substack. For example I broke a story about Michigan lawmakers about to pass some controversial legislation. I made a TikTok telling everyone "I am working on this story now and about to drop it only on my newsletter" I tried promoting my tiktok video but tiktok denied it becuase they said it was political. Be carefull with your wording.
Hi! I really AM literally asking for a friend who is a new Substacker! She had a mailing list of around 3000+ and when she moved it, or tried to move, over to Substack, she lost around 300 subscribers. ChatBot seems to be on hiatus lately--it always cuts out when I'm asking a ? -- and I would love to help my friend try to regain her missing subscribers. Can you please send me to a link I can share w. her -- or input some info to me? Will much appreciate it, thank you!

Links on TikTok only work after you gain 1k followers so before that, promotion is difficult (but not impossible) to keep TikTokers interested when they can't click a link. I'm at just under 500 and it's going to take a while to get my substack link activated.

Well. Things change 6 months later.

Exactly!
I love Substack!! It's been so nice seeing my bigger audience slowly start to trickle over here to this platform.
I have 679,000 on TiKTok and have been working for a while to move them over. I will use TikTok to tease articles I write on Substack.

I don't want Substack to turn in to TikTok. Please, remain pure.
No, I believe they are trying to get your die hard followers to follow you and Substack is amazing for that
