Word of mouth still spreads. People, things and memes still went viral before tech companies decided what you want to see.

Not really. It really doesn't spread much at all, and who is even gonna see it in the first place?

Imagine some amazing artist or YouTuber, creates amazing content.

They post it, and they get 0 views. No hashtags or anything shows their content to anyone. How is word of mouth going to help that?

Although, granted, hashtags can be something you follow.

The ‘amazing artist’ should not limit themself to youtube. The ‘youtuber’, who is dependent on a single medium, will be lost to time anyway.

There are of course multiple social medias, but an artist isn't only valuable of they are the preference of the masses.

Many great artists are the preference of niche groups. The internet reaches far and wide and bring these artists, these masters of their craft, to their fans all over the world. Whereas if they only exist locally, they may only come across a handful of people that enjoy their work, and their talents will go unnoticed and people that would love it will never experience it.
