Nah it's shit advice that blames you, the victim for making that choice of platform, rather than finding fault with the platform's behavior. The opportunity costs to you of supporting multiple platforms takes away from producing content. You end up with a fraction of the same number of users, just spread across multiple platforms, and crucially, the platforms aren't all the same. What plays well on YouTube won't play well on twitch nor SnapChat nor Instagram nor TikTok nor Reddit. There's not zero crossover, but as you've found, it's negligible. Go to where your users are, collect email addresses as backup, but spreading yourself thin across all possible platforms is not the recipe for success GP poster thinks it is.
