Eh… I’ve seen several cooking and bartending YouTuber go from actually making proper cooking and drink making vids and then after a while they just turn into shitposters because the algorithm taught them you can make a lot more money just causing outrage

That's still in line with "the algorithm". It's not about what's objectively best, it's about what gets views.

I went to HS with a girl that now has millions of followers on Tik Tok. She posts cooking videos, and like you said, they generally suck. I don't know how anyone could actually prepare a meal with one of her videos.

But the reality is I'm not the target viewer. I'm someone who actually gives a shit about cooking a meal instead of daydreaming about it from a 20 second video. The algorithm shows what people want to watch, and unfortunately that is endless scrolling of 20 second videos devoid of substance.
