If more content creators moved to it, more viewers would switch to it to follow the content. The fact it's barely got anything on it is why most people, who only view the videos and not make them or post them, do not use it. Which the creators will turn around and say is the reason they don't use it as well; the viewers aren't there. Stupid perpetuating cycles of fuckery. 😩
In highschool, my friend group of maybe a dozen had an sms group chat. I spent months suggesting that we switch to signal, but to no avail. Eventually, I convinced one person to join, which made it a bit more convincing for another, and then a few more, and so on. Signal is now the primary means of communication for this friend group, showing that change is indeed possible. Keep fighting the good fight until the rise of these alternative platforms becomes inevitable.
Am I out of touch?
No. It's other peoples fault.
