“I would just make posts about those things and see which ones would get traction so we would use X as sort of this idea battleground and then when I would get traction on a piece of content on X then we would see that as a validated piece of content we would basically have an Instagram short form script from the X post and then we would replicate that on Instagram and Tik Tok and then if those did well we would make that a YouTube video”
