Wow, thanks for all your research! Any suggestions for those of us over 34?

Well I’m 36 and pretty introverted so I definitely lean more towards text than video myself!

Can we consider Substack as the right social media plateform ?

Depends on whether or not you think of it as social media!

I think the substack platform is what social media should ideally be.

I totally agree Sanjay!

This is very insightful. I'm drawn to Linkedin, Substack and TikTok - in that order. But maybe they're not drawn to me!!!!!

Solid overview showing the differences, well compiled David! I worked at Hootsuite for 3 years and from that experience would surely add Threads, Medium and Substack to the list.

The good thing: we can reach difference audiences for different reasons per channel. I use LinkedIn as corporate content creator and published two books about Social Selling. On Substack and Medium I talk about book writing while I use FB/IG as published travel book author. It works that way.

Haha. I’ve always preferred writing. I also like making videos but it can eat up a lot of time. 😂
