❄️ One Cold Evening, One Familiar Question
It is the end of a workday here. Snow started falling outside the office — one of those days that suddenly feels quieter, slower. And as I was wrapping things up, something Mila said stuck with me.
She told me she wants to start running her social media. Simple statement, but it triggered something.
Because, this question of where to post and what to focus on has been bouncing around for years.
🤹♂️ The Pressure To Be Everywhere
Everywhere you look, creators are dominating on multiple platforms:
Someone tweets 5 times a day on X
Another person’s LinkedIn carousels are going viral
Reels, Threads, newsletters, podcasts — it is nonstop
And then you ask yourself:
Where do I go? What should I focus on?
I have asked myself that a thousand times. And even after almost 10 years of creating, I still come back to the same answer.
🎥 Why I Keep Choosing YouTube
For me, it is YouTube. I am not sure why exactly — but the rhythm just works.
I record a video
I send it to Nikolay or Luke
They edit it
I add the title and description
It goes live
That system makes creating feel easy. More than that — I actually enjoy doing it.
YouTube lets me deliver real value. I can sit down, talk through an idea, and share a message that lasts longer than a tweet or a Reel.
✍️ X, AI, and the Strange World of "Consistency"
I still use X. I like it. I write thoughts there.
But something about the platform has shifted — and I know I am not the only one noticing it.
You can see when people are using AI.
Sometimes, it is fine. I even use ChatGPT myself.
I’ll transcribe my YouTube audio, feed it into GPT, and get ideas for posts.
And I will be honest — some of the results are decent. But they still do not sound like me.
🔁 What Actually Wins Is Repetition
Let us be real — on X, nobody remembers what you posted yesterday.
It is all about the next post. The next impression.
You win by showing up consistently, not by going deep.
But YouTube?
That content sticks. Someone might watch a video from a year ago and still take something valuable from it.
That is the difference.
And that is why I keep coming back to YouTube.
🎯 The Real Answer: Pick One Platform
Here is what I have learned:
Pick one platform and go all in.
Choose the one that feels natural
The one that works with your workflow
The one that fits your message
The one you actually enjoy using
You will only stay consistent if you enjoy the process.
That is what makes it sustainable.
👋 Final Thoughts
This is not a growth hack or content plan.
It is just a real reminder from someone who is also figuring it out.
You do not need to be everywhere.
You just need to be somewhere — and show up consistently.
So take a moment.
Think about what platform feels right for you.
And then… go all in.
See you next time,
Vasily
