I think cross-posting may be more for users unlike myself (and you? Not that we seem to use nostr in the same way either lol).

Off the top of my head I can only really think of Cahlen (nprofile…ckyu) as a good example on here.

But it is generally common practice, perhaps more significantly with video platforms, where there's more alt-youtube options and competitors (and uncertainty).

But I see it fairly often on content creators who list or link to their alts ('find me on rumble, bitchute, osysee...'). And also socials ('find me on gab, minds, bsky etc'.)

Co tent creators hedging their bets, perhaps one will win the the future, and they will already have a presence there. They also seem to use analytics tools where available, and are notified of comments and interactions, perhaps one alt is drawing and audience. They can then shift more focus between the options.

I've also seen content creators comment that it's not worth the effort ('its like grinding gears') focusing on an alt with little footfall/userbase. Convincing someone especially who is earning on twitter/substack to be Nostr only is not going to go down well here. They may have a following larger than the entire active network on nostr lol, the topic of interest has no/little following here, no/little meaningful community or interactions. But the idea is to make it easy for them with the hope that there is a lingering 'for now...'.

Plus it also works as advertising. A lot of these people do verbally and/or have links on one platform for their alts 'find me on etc'. And they may (ideally) have an audience ouraide if the bitcointwitter bubble.

Barely anyone has heard of Nostr outside of bitcointwitter.
