I don't know who this person is, but that seems a bit pompous.
He's a c-list celebrity and genre author. I generally agree with what he says and enjoy his writing, but I'd be surprised if any of his usual audience joined a platform specifically because of him.
Edit: I am surprised that some of his usual audience joined a platform specifically because of him.
Is that was he is claiming though? I read it as spending effort to get people to follow him there, i.e. posting and engaging on the platform to increase his visibility and number of followers there, when he could spend that effort doing it elsewhere / doing something else.
That's the way I read it as well.
