Social media is for interaction with the audience (and potential customers).
Actually, there are two classes of content creators that figured that out perfectly
>lewd cosplayers>onlyfans thotsboth these classes use social media to interact with their audiences AND as a marquee to give the audience a free sample and channel them into their paygated content.
And nowadays that means (depending on the market, this is more for a western world perspective)
>instagram for still photography >YouTube for long for video>TikTok for short videos>X-Twitter for casual interaction with the audience in direct, two way written formLive streaming is pretty much the only place that's split because Twitch rules North America and most of the western world but Youtube made some inroads in the past decade or so.
Of course all of this only matters for the successful ones in the bunch, 2 bits fly by night content creators can get away with having lots of platforms, it's not like they have a big enough audience in ANY of them anyway.
