I think how the 'human centipede' of content works is really interesting as it has evolved over time. Creators coalese in certain apps and consumers others.
4 chan greentext used to be pretty common on Reddit a decade ago, and 9gag would repost reddit content. Twitter text often gets reposted to tiktok and reddit. Tiktok videos often get reposted to Twitter or Reddit. Heck, many major 'journalism' outfits now regularly include tweets - sometimes thats even the entire content of an article. /r/AmITheAsshole or similar long-form reddit posts are regularly read to make content for youtube or podcasts.
In terms of original amateur-created content, seems the current winners of each medium are:
- short form text: twitter
- long form text: reddit
- short video: tiktok
- long video: youtube? but seems fragile
- xvector 5y ago> - long form text: reddit I would say Medium has taken over, here?
