It's dumb that it requires switching. Why aren't there any tools or services for publishing content simultaneously to every platform? New platform? Make an account and add it to my publishing tool, done. Now my content posts there as well.

I think it's difficult by design. The platforms don't want that, they want the lock-in and switching costs.

seeding other platforms with your content that was meant to be youtube is fine (i'm sure there are tools that could do this already), but the problem is that those new platforms aren't monetized like youtube is.

For a content creator, if they dilute their audience (by saying that their content is available on some other platform), they might have less views on youtube which is the money maker.
