<div class="bbWrapper">I have a Premium+ account on X, which is a new feature allowing only those with such tiered membership to write long-form content akin to a Substack feel. It allows media to be inserted within text, bullet points, and many other features simply not available in a typical post fashion.<br />

It feels a lot like the Substack modality, which I have as my main landing page. This also allows for an email list to be curated, whereas X doesn't have that.<br />
<br />
I recently published an article on Substack, and subsequently learned about this X feature so I copy/pasted it over as an X article too. Both platforms allow videos to be embedded too.<br />
<br />
X is becoming the 'super app,' which means it's also punishing those who try to steer people away from the platform. I like the idea of collecting emails though too.<br />
<br />
Anyone familiar with both platforms have advice or insights as to which should be pursued more aggressively?</div>
