I was 100% referring to the UX that thenomad mentioned in getting users to move to other services for content ingestion.

Wow. I'll be sure to travel into the past about 20 years and tell 12 year old swozey to not sign up for HondaCivics.com because you'll be out of that phase of your life when you're 17.

You completely missed my point.

I'm not going out of my way to ingest media on private platforms as opposed to ingesting that media on a couple of platforms that are aggregates that I already use.

I'm not signing up for your personal video site when I can watch your videos on Youtube.

I'm not downloading your personal music app to listen to your album when I can play it on Spotify.

If your stuff isn't available on these platforms, or whatever major aggregate relates to your style of content; 99% chance I just won't partake in it.
