Everyone's situation is going to be different depending on what your business is, your needs, the needs of your clients, and what you are willing to trade. There are no absolutes. Hopefully no one will misunderstood me that I'm saying that there is only one way. I am only trying to educate people that the default might not be the best or their only option.
Maybe there should be categories of default tools: "Normie Default" and "Business Default".
My use of YouTube falls on the latter, as I lead people to my podcast (hosted on nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpqyfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9sldm58v, distributed to nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqtxwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tmwwp6kyvtkx46kv7tgx3kxketnd3nhs7rrvdkxwwrxxp585ct6dpshwdmjwdexsanxw96hs7ndxfnxkd35vvmny6rswv6r2m3swc6n7cnjdaskgcmpwd6r6arjw4jsqgr98zf9a0akv86p3kx86p6tachg4lthsuqamzg8psk6jdk4w8j4cv6qcgkr and other Podcast 2.0-supported platforms).
Discussion
I've already been following your work, and going local-first for my content creation for almost 4 years at this point, so I get this sentiment.
The absolutes for me are possibly similar, depending on what's needed at what time.
To clarity, I've been following your stuff even before I found you (I was learning similarly to probably what you already know) for that stretch of time.
