Are we over-relying on platforms we don’t control?

One thing I’ve noticed while building Reelu is how many creators and founders are building serious audiences on platforms they don’t own.

Your content lives on their domain.
Your reach depends on their algorithm.
Your monetization depends on their policies.

It works — until it doesn’t.

I’m curious:

• Do you think creators should prioritize owning their domain from day one?
• Or does distribution matter more than ownership early on?
• At what point does “renting” become risky?

Would love to hear how the PH community thinks about this.
