When I saw MKBHD on threads available through flipboard, the thought crossed my mind. Wouldn’t it be a game changer for the biggest websites to suddenly try to coax users and content creators with “one account to rule them all” solution?

    To elaborate: it’s not about gaining the users from the fediverse: nobody give a shit about us. It’s about taking away users from other big platforms.

    Imagine if MKBHD realised he could do all his media relations from a single account. He could post a promotional picture (or video) on his youtube account and have it be visible on instagram, threads, twitter, tiktok, etc. . Comments from tiktok accounts would show up on the youtube video to youtube users on youtube.

    Or a tiktok user uploading their short videos would have them show up on youtube shorts and insta (/threads) at the same time. Again, engagement from any platform would show up on one single account.
