It's been generally assumed that Youtube is dying for smaller vloggy creators such as myself. Most people have moved on to Tiktok, Snapchat, Instagram (for oldies), for all their short-form, community-made content.
I'm not quitting Youtube for good any time soon, but maybe it's time I considered the #Fediverse to be my primary platform. I spend most of my social media time here, I genuinely enjoy it, and I think it's more of a reflection of who I am and what I want to say.
