The app for independent voices
Hey Friends, I’m here of Substack, and here is why I decided to leave MSNBC and go 100% independent with all my content.
Hey guys. Sorry if you got a notification I had a video up. I opened a blaster of illusions and I somehow recorded it in slow motion making an 8 minute video 49 mins. I feel dumb. I’ll post “my hits” as soon as my daughter wraps up her basketball season. They are currently 0-7. Will they win the final game? I’m taking action on the game now. I’ll have a pod up later for my payers.
Substack is the only platform not currently owned by a billionaire, and I have full editorial control over my content.
It’s why I’m here. Thank you all for joining me.
Let’s redefine the future of media in America, together.

Wow! This is such a beautiful and powerful testimony. Congratulations on launching Healing Tongues! Your transparency and obedience to the Holy Spirit are truly inspiring. I love how you’re creating space for others to experience God’s presence and breaking down barriers around speaking in tongues. It’s so important for people to see how…

Regardless of RFK Jr being confirmed as HHS secretary, I will continue to provide evidence based health education on social media. We need more helpers now more than ever.
YouTube is great but I would suggest that YT and TikTok serve mostly different use cases vs premium SVOD providers. For example, as YouTube and TikTok have been growing impressively in the past few years, we have not seen a decline in non-YouTube video consumption. So YouTube is competing with something, but I am not sure it is HBO (maybe it's reading? Or hanging out with friends?). The real genius of YT's contingent compensation system is that it pays contributors almost nothing (~$5 per 1,000 views). So the answer to "what happens once those same filmmakers can make just as much money or more on YouTube?" is that that will almost certainly never happen. For a top filmmaker to make an episode for $6MM and put it on YT expecting $8MM per episode, it would have to be such a certain hit, a priori, that they would have been able to sell it to a network for guaranteed comp with zero risk. I don't see how that transition to YT ever happens unless YT substantially changes its strategy. So YT vs HBO is like ice cream stands vs fine dining restaurants. Both are good businesses that co-exist, and they're quite different.
I guess one question is -- should YT figure out a way to compensate creators of premium, first run content better, or should it stay in its lane?

Anyone else watch the 4-part doc series about SNL on Peacock? Really enjoyed the episode that took viewers behind the scenes for a week with the SNL writers. Incredibly admirable that they’re able to crank out so much comedy every single week.
