Kind of a trend, the amount of youtubers who i had loved but their content became generic after gaining popularity is quite a bit, most drastic one being mrwhosetheboss, his uniqueness went down faster than MH27 MH17

    I still watch a Babish here and there, he pioneered foodtube but his content was very formulaic and I sort of just got bored of it. I’d rather watch Food Wishes or other cooking channels with stuff I’d actually make and eat. For interesting and entertaining food content I like what the former BA hosts do, and a lot of famous chefs have excellent YouTube content that is very humbly edited and presented.

      I feel this. I watch about 8 Foodtubers on and off and babish now feels very generic because basically everyone is a take on him.

      Two things in his favour are his decision to use being the largest to platform others was really good and although that diluted his channel by making fans of the person stop watching every video, and also the fact that if I’m actually looking for a specific cooking guide and I see a babish video, I know I can follow it reliably and have a tasty end product.

        Yeah you gotta give him credit and really a lot of the producers and editors on foodtube work between channels. It’s sort of more like a community than other genres on YouTube are which I enjoy.
