Since you don’t have social media anymore (or at least Twitter), how do you get new traffic to your site? All via search engines?

I still have those old social media accounts, now they serve to drive content to my site (the primary focal point of content I create) though... I make full music videos for my site, and then cut smaller snippets of it to post as I can on social sites, which makes my life a lot easier.

I wonder what fraction of traffic these days is from nor search engines, neither social media ?
