I've seen a lot of DJs post links on subreddits like /r/mixes to their 2-3 hour sets on Youtube. Why? I listen to DJ sets while doing active things like going for a walk, making breakfast, doing chores etc and I can't listen to anything on Youtube without having the app open because I don't have Youtube premium, plus I would imagine Youtube commercials will pop up often in a long set.
I don't get it, why not just post your mix on Soundcloud or Mixcloud instead?
Not sure if this is true, but I heard that Youtube is the best place to circulate your content out of all of the social media's. Some of my favorite mixes are on youtube, and it does annoy me that i cant find them on soundcloud.
