Is YouTube still the best platform for building authority?

I still think YouTube is one of the best platforms for building authority because people can see and hear you, which helps build trust over time. It does take longer than short form platforms but the content can keep bringing in views for months or even years.

it depends on niche and quality of your content. but i think other social media platforms are better than youtube for building authority

youtube is great with nearly zero costs + it's google owned so it helps with seo , also the format of a video is much easier to digest then reading giant blob of text
