Audience Portability
The degree to which a creator can preserve a relationship with an audience when moving between services or adding new channels.
The useful mental model.
Start with the part that changes what you actually do or expect when you meet this concept in everyday digital life.
Where the leverage lives
Separate discovery, audience relationship, payment and publishing. The same creator can depend on four different systems for those four jobs.
What survives a platform change
Owned domains, portable subscriber lists, reusable files and direct customer relationships usually travel better than an algorithmic follower count.
What connects to this?
Digital life is a system. Follow the neighboring identity, data, design, security or business layer instead of stopping at one definition.
Data Portability
The ability to take useful data from one service and move or reuse it elsewhere instead of leaving it trapped in one platform.
