This is so interesting cause I went through a similar shift for Insta a few months ago. I had two accounts and to be honest, Insta was not really helping me in any way with getting YT views. So I deleted the account that was related to my YT channel (Painting) and keep those painting efforts only on YT. My other account is Travel/Street photography, probably soon to be deleted as well. My beef with Instagram is and always has been that without over 10K subs you are really just sharing content to an empty void that may never get filled. I had to stop and focus on the avenue that could monetize for me faster and that is YT. Jury is still out but I am glad I am not dealing with requests for NFTs on a daily basis from Insta. I have since started to weave my passion for photography and video production within the painting videos on my YT channel and I am super happy with the results so far.
Thanks for sharing Rodney! Sounds like you are in a happier place now and I also agree it's good to focus on the thing that is "easier" to monetize like UA-cam - all the best with your channel :) :)
