It seems that everything turned into scams, aggressive self marketing and just click bait irrelevant content. I liked finance videos, but every creator sounds like “the world will end soon” or “my secret method to make 1 million per week day trading stocks/forex/crypto.”

Content aimed at culture (movies/series) also behave the same way, throwing a bit of politics into the mix. Always the same incendiary click bait title spewing a bunch of nonsense that has nothing the story, setting characters or other topics relevant to the piece.

Is there anything that can be saved on that platform? It has gotten so bad that I’m start to think that Tiktok and Twitter both have better content than YouTube. At least in those platforms you can find a random dude writing an essay in a series of 20 tweets on why an increase of mantis is related to the global surge of ballpoint pen prices.

    Been watching a lot of Ordinary Sausage lately. Such absolute culinary insanity and yet weirdly wholesome.

    On the more soothing side of things, Townsends’ cooking videos are usually just plain nice, not to mention surprisingly tasty. Never would’ve thought “literally put an unpeeled onion in the oven until it smells delicious” would be a viable recipe but it turns out it’s amazing. Also, Mushroom Ketchup rules.

      Bit of an upgrade (and not period authentic) but try coring out a bit of the onion and cramming a beef bullion cube and some butter in there. I normally do it on the grill but should probably work fine in the oven as well

      And if you’re not already following him, Tasting History with Max Miller has some cool old recipes as well

        Welp, I’m sold. Definitely trying that next time. Thanks.

        Also you’re the third person I’ve heard mention Tasting History so I’m definitely gonna give that a go. But when I’m not so damn hungry. :P
