Came across this channel recently. Chris Young is the creator of the Joule Sous Vide stick as well as the Combustion thermometer line. He’s going some really interesting, science-based, cooking videos. This one in particular, don’t let the title fool you. He goes more in depth on WHY steaks are juicy.
I figured there would be some downvotes because people would assume it’s a video about how searing “seals in the juices”, not realizing that he’s going in to detail about why that’s NOT true and why some perceive that. Wasn’t expecting quite so many downvotes though.
Or they might be assuming it’s an ad which if you look at my history at all, you would know I don’t post ads, but stuff I find interesting and helpful. Who knows, lol. People are weird.
Didn’t downvote, but even if you give your word, that video’s title and description are majorly clickbaity and just scream “no value content”, which likely was a conscious choice of the original poster, so I’m most definitely not clicking on it.
Good point. I didn’t want to editorialize their title, but maybe I should at least add more context. Tried to in the post, but yeah, you don’t see that in a feed unless you click inside. Thanks for the feedback!
No problem, and sorry if coming off harsh.
As reference, many news communities enforce that you don’t edit the title of what you post for consistencies sake, but that can be hard to follow when the title just is a pile of steaming hot garbage. And then the poster comes off as low-effort for being forced to use that same title and gets down voted.
Doomed if you do, doomed if you don’t. Clickbaity titles are a bane upon this world.
Oh no worries at all.
Yep, seems to be exactly what happened, lol
I downvoted because the post is just a link to a video with no other information at all. This is exactly what spammers do to drive views to videos/channels.
Edit: I messed up and am in the wrong here. Leaving my original comment up with this apologia for transparency.
I put information in the post to try to explain context. Did you not see it or not enough maybe?
Oh my bad, I apologise. Yeah there’s information there, I was getting my downvotes mixed up. I think I downvoted just because I didn’t want to sit through a video to find out a summary of it. But that’s my ND self not wanting to sit through videos.
I’ve removed my downvote.
Haha, no worries. Thanks for your honesty.
Yeah, I didn’t want to give away his explanation, because it is an interesting video worth watching I think. But at the same time, seems people aren’t interested without more context. It’s a balancing act really.
I was part of a similar discussion about video posts before. I think the take away was that Lemmy is mostly centered around written content, and that many/some people who browse it are in environments where sound and video might not be comfortable.
Lemmy does appear to house a lot of people who very much prefer to skim over an article or have a short summary at hand, instead of fast forwarding through a video.
Honestly, I’d say that’s Reddit as well as most social media these days. I still constantly see people commenting on things and getting blasted because the info is in the article. Hell, had it happen on a post about bacon I made just 2 days ago in the Sous Vide community. Person commented what’s the point and the article explains it in the first sentence, lol.

Could just be vegans who don’t like steak content.
Very true. I would think it being a general cooking community, they would be used to seeing meat though.
There’s a lot of woke vegan helicopter parents on here but yeah I think the title made it seem like some kind of ad lol
Yeah, the more I look at it, it does. I think I’ll add to it for more context
