Transcript
The moment you start treating YouTube like a separate platform it is and not just an extended version of your Instagram or your TikTok, that's the moment it's actually going to click into place. Now, taking your Instagram reels or your TikToks and throwing them on YouTube Shorts actually might work for many people. However, long form is a different game. Long form intent is very different. People are choosing the content that they watch. People are scrolling infinitely on every little extra moment that they have. They are not putting a lot of thought into what they're watching on their for you page because it's curated for them. YouTube is about choices.
