I've always read to post your content everywhere and it seems logical.

I find this a little confusing as well. There is literally a function in TubeBuddy called Share tracker that helps you ensure that you DID share your video to facebook, twitter, etc.
Well based on what I learned is that YouTube looks into to the viewers watch history and if the viewer likes it based on time spent on the video/videos then they try to share it with similar minded people based in their watch history.
So sharing it to like minded people is good, let’s say you create art videos, sharing them to art forums and art Reddit’s or Twitter can be good.
But if you do art and start posting it on Gaming, movie or animal niches that could make the algorithm confused as now many different type of people are looking at your videos and it could struggle to figure out who to show it to. And end up showing them to wrong crowd and end up cutting your watch time and sending your exposure down.
