If Substack stops supporting that feature you would end up losing all of your subscribers when you move to the alternative unless you happen to have an up to date export.
- coldtea 2mo agoWhich is trivial. Even once a month is enough.
- ImJamal 2mo agoHow many writers are even thinking about that though? If they shut it off tomorrow, how many would have a list within the last year?
- coldtea 2mo agoI'm pretty sure all of them. Because they'll never shut it without advance warning, due to the backlash.
- ImJamal 2mo agoOf course, if they were given warning they would export their subscribers. I am talking about if it was cut off without warning. I do not think the majority would have a list within the last year.
- coldtea 2mo agoTwo answers to that: 1) That's on them (those not exporting their lists as backup). 2) Almost zero chance happening without warning anyway.
- inigyou 2mo agoOf course they wouldn't give warning. Backlash is almost always good publicity. And a warning would make their content providers more able to leave.
