Pour one out for the youtubers that chased the algorithm away from what you enjoy. (lemmy.world)

I've been watching ZFG (OoT streamer) for a while. Lately he's only been playing Tears of the Kingdom, which... I don't like or care about, much. Looks like he's actually going to do runs of it, so it might be a while.

Someone else already mentioned Joshua Weissman, "comedian" cook who refuses to realize he can't sing and the "papa" thing is... cringe. Channel was much better when he didn't try so hard to be funny. Cooking stuff itself is still fine though, he does know his stuff.

    I guarantee you ZFG doesn't give a single shit about "the algorithm" - he's always played games that he wants to play, which is usually every Zelda release, Mario Kart, Smash, and Pokemon. His only two concerns are going fast and having fun.

    Literally finally made an account to respond to you. I don't really watch streams much anymore, but he has a main channel (highlights and records) and a VOD channel on YouTube. I used to go to sleep watching Clint Stevens every night, and now I use the VODs a lot of the time. Anyway, the point I was actually trying to make is that there is a ton of old content available if TotK isn't doing it for you.

    Maybe I started watching late but Weissman always kind of struck me as trying too hard on the comedy bits, but I don't mind because it is good knowledge nonetheless. My biggest issue is that he's a little on the pretentious side and he occasionally uses fancy/expensive/inaccessible ingredients or tools, but that's really just a personal problem for me.

    That last bit is why I love the Aaron and Claire cooking channel. Dude cooks recipes with both 'original' ingredients and also just tells you it's fine to omit/substitute stuff with other more common ingredients and even cooks using both so you can see. It's still a Korean cooking channel so some ingredients light still be a bit hard to come by in certain places like rice wine vinegar but it should be mostly accessible if you live anywhere with more than one skintone walking around.
