Agreed, but I've been doing that since Friendster... It's exhausting to continually be creating platform specific content like that... Each new platform introduces new complications, e.g. when TikTok came about they revived vertical video, and that totally disrupted YouTubes horizontal (widescreen) format... On top of that, it's the physically excruciating process of uploading vital things over and over to each platform... Not really complaining because it's a part of the business, but as a musician that does everything mostly myself, it demands far too much attention.
A new social site would be better designed to host links in differing formats all together, like a site you could just plug a YouTube URL into, or even a TikTok URL and then it would work to present posts to relevant people without requiring a lot of input from account managers, perhaps by searching the web for relevant info to the post content and person posting it.
One of the biggest pains is whenever a new platform takes over in dominance, we have to scramble to reserve our namesake on the platform if it might take off. That too is stressful. I can't complain, because I'm lucky to be functional, but social media and related activity is very costly in time and money with constantly decreasing returns in public reach, volumes of valuable time can be wasted by anyone during the process of learning that. :/
