This is the cleanest answer to your actual question: no, you do not need to be everywhere at once, and trying to be usually backfires. Millie makes the depth-over-breadth case in plain creator language (split across three platforms and each one only gets a third of your energy), then says pick one, go all in, and expand only once you understand the algorithm and audience. It is a starting point framed the way a real creator would give it, not a growth-hack pitch.
Should You Focus On Just One Social Media Platform?

- Being on Instagram and YouTube at once is not a requirement, and spreading thin early usually means none of the channels grow.
- Go deep on one platform first so you actually learn its algorithm and what your audience wants there.
- Expand to a second and third platform only after you see real traction on the first.
