Changes Coming to This Substack
More content, exclusive articles, subscriber feedback.
Hello, kind subscribers! Thanks for being a part of this amazing journey. In just four short months, we’re up to nearly 15,000 readers! This newsletter is growing far beyond my expectations.
If you are already not aware, I am on several platforms and put out considerably more content there than I do on Substack (10+ posts a day vs. 1). So I was thinking about bringing some of those stories and turning them into mini-articles here.
But I know with each post comes a notification, so I would like some feedback about the change before it goes into effect. Here’s an example of the type of content that would be coming that’s on my Telegram page but not on Substack:
Exclusive Articles Are Coming Soon for Paid Subscribers
This is my way to say thanks to those who help pay the bills and allow me to stay happily at my desk instead of tending to a day job. I’ll be releasing the first exclusive piece on Monday. Here’s a look:
Consider upgrading your subscription so you don’t miss it.
Anyway, thanks for your support! If you have any other ideas, please leave a comment below.
You do amazing work and we thank you for your efforts. I would suggest that you put links for other mini articles in your daily substack. I subscribe to about 15 different substacks and my email box overflows. If it’s one we can scroll through it at different stuff and go from their. I have been considering dropping some substack or at least moving them to a different email as I cant keep up. Your content is top shelf but if it’s more than I can handle I will have to unsubscribe. I wish there was a way to juts look at the substacks in the app and not get them all in my email except really important ones. So that’s my feedback. I one a day is lots and then sub articles within. Like a mini newspaper.
I subscribe to both your Substack also your Telegram channel. Your survey does not give us the option to select “More long form articles”, but maybe that is what you mean by additional Substack subscriber content coming. That would be my preference. In my opinion, Telegram and Substack are two different forms of media with different purposes and different audiences. I subscribe to several Substack writers who also have Telegram channels but I have different expectations for their work on each platform.
I look to Substack for more in-depth analyses, exposés, and investigative journalism pieces. For example, I subscribed to Glenn Greenwald and Alex Berenson on Substack when they got kicked off all the other platforms. I look to their Substacks to read their investigative articles, which are mostly long form, and they deliver that.
On the other hand, I subscribe to various Telegram channels as a way to keep up with the latest news and information, to see video clips or even longer videos of the day, to learn about current scandals, and the latest buffoonery out of the illegitmate Biden regime, etc. I use Telegram as one of my daily news feeds.
Also, I sometimes find links on the Telegram channels of some writers to articles on their Substack columns. That is in fact how I found your Substack, you linked to it one time. Going forward, links to your Substack are a good way to point Telegram readers to your Substack, and that is sufficient. And since Telegram is free, so I would not repeat content on Substack that is on Telegram. If you look at my profile, I support a number of writers (including Vigilant Fox) as a paid subscriber. I do that because of the oppressive bans and censorship currently running rampant throughout the world, and many interesting and well-informed people are being shut out of any way to inform people. When I find a particular writer’s contributions and work especially valuable, or I like the topics they cover, then I support their work.
So I would not turn your Substack into another Telegram channel with 2 – 3 inputs a day, especially if they repeat what is on your Telegram channel. I would enjoy more long pieces on Substack if you have the time and resources. Otherwise I am satisfied to follow two media sources for two different types of information. IMHO.
