I’ll keep this one short. On November 9, we reported that MeidasTouch became a Substack bestseller. Eleven days after that post, MeidasTouch has now doubled its subscribers on Substack. MeidasTouch launched on Substack with Meidas+ less than 60 days ago and is already in the top 25 of all political Substacks. Additionally, MeidasTouch is now among the top 10 most-followed Bluesky accounts in the world.
The purpose of sharing these metrics isn’t to boast, brag, or spike the football. It’s to inform you that we are meeting our mission: getting our pro-democracy content to as many people as possible.
Before the election, MeidasTouch was the most-watched channel on YouTube in America, even surpassing Fox “News.” After the election, MeidasTouch continues to outperform CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and all other networks on YouTube, now ranking second overall, with only Fox ahead. We aim to reclaim the number-one spot from Fox soon.
MeidasTouch does not have outside investors. We’ve built this infrastructure brick by brick to become the true alternative to corporate media. Our rapid growth on platforms like Substack and BlusSky provides a forceful and fearless voice to take on Trump for the years to come, with the ability and distribution channels to reach hundreds of millions of people.
I hope to report that we’ve doubled our subscribers again in another 11 days. If you can, please consider becoming a paid subscriber to this Substack. Let’s keep growing, and let’s make history together.
Congratulations! So happy to see people are feeling the Meidas Touch!
I absolutely love your work. Now, more than ever, it’s important to support you all, especially as you see some of the media begin to ‘bend the knee’. So glad that you’re on Bluesky now, and hopefully, we can ALL “ween ourselves” off of “X”….
