Eric Siu argues YouTube is the best platform for creators because it generates recurring monthly income and lets creators build lasting careers, unlike TikTok where trends burn out fast and creators chase viral moments.

What's your take on YouTube long term? I think that YouTube is the best platform in the world. I have evidence to back it up from other creators. I think the 2 things that matter the most are cash flow and longevity in the creator space. I don't care how much money you make or how much money you spend. The only money that I care about, whether it's from creating content, whether it's from your other businesses, the only number that matters is cash flow. How much money is coming in every single month when it's all said and fucking done? And then the second thing is longevity. Think back to like, I'll give you a great example. I went on TikTok the other day, it suggested me TikTok Live, so I'm just kind of scrolling through. What are people doing? You got random people doing God knows what. Yeah. What is it called when they like tap on cans? I don't know what that is. They talk like this. Oh yeah, ASMR or whatever. Let's dive into that. Yeah, if you want, we can. You're going through and I see Tai Lopez on there, and I go, I know Tai Lopez in and out. I used to. That stuff was annoying back then, or it's spammy or scummy or whatever. It worked. It worked. Yeah.
