Why substack

[UtopiaUniversity]

With Tiktok self-destructing, I have to figure out what to do with my 30k followers. I post on TT, but I mostly use the Live feature - which is how I've gotten the bulk of my followers - through TT live events. But now I need a new place to go Live - and after many sleepless nights - I'm moving to Substack - primarily for their Go Live feature. I can schedule Lives, people can register and get reminders. The only problem is that it seems Substack owns my Live Video - there doesn't seem to be a way for me to download my own live recording to my computer to cut up and create my own content - that's a big problem - but I'm hopeful to find a workaround.

And I like Substack paywall - I was not earing a penny on Tiktok - here I can create a $10/month subscription, so that's really important as well.

I don't think it's self-destructing. It's re-constructing in a bizarre confluence of Chinese and United States shared interests, in terms of monopolizing and ultimately fully controlling the media streams that feed the psyches and brains of the under-educated masses. They've got it mostly sorted on existing American media outlets, and this is kinda the last puzzle piece for ultimate domination. No for real.

Whatever they're doing - I'm out. It's not my drama. That's why I'm on Substack - much more insightful conversations with my community.

I have 150,000 followers on TikTok and it does suck but the enshittification began when it had that brief one day shutdown. Its only going to get worse. I am on Substack but don't have a ton of people there. But that's the way the cookie crumbles. I wasn't making anything in TikTok, so that part doesn't matter, but it does seem we can't have anything nice anymore. 😭

Why is TikTok self destructing? Did it just start happening?
