Your measurement ID in he tutorial above and the placeholder measurement ID on Substack both start with GTM-XXX, but mine just starts G-XXX. Any idea why?
That number is your analytics number. What does a Google Analytics ID look like?

The measurement ID format is G-XXXXXXX, and it identifies which data stream is sending data to your GA4 property. If you have set up a GA4 property with a web data stream, your Google Analytics measurement ID begins with the characters' G-'
The part of the GTM container tag code which reads 'GTM-TXAAA', is called the container ID. This ID is used to uniquely identify each GTM container tag. You can see the GTM container ID on the home page of Google Tag Manager: https://tagmanager.google.com/#/home.
I've had analytics and tag manager for years, and these programs change all the time. If you have a specific question, a google search usually answers those questions. Good luck to you!
What is the benefit of this and if there is no way to do SEO?
There is a lack of information here on how the UA was with the change to GA4
one question i had is.. has this helped you? And how?
i'm torn about whether to do this.. just not sure how it is gonna change what i actually do on substack
