I see recipes Tiktoks get readily debunked in longer-form content, such as by channels like "How To Cook That"¹; the Tiktoks amount to little more than content farming. What real information might be present is drowned out by fakes and bad advice that exist for no other reason than to soak up eyeballs.
I get far more out of longer-form videos, IMO.
(And yes, the bloated recipe blogspam is also a form that is rapidly approaching 0 bytes of information per byte transferred.)
¹(even this is "cheap" content, IMO; debunking stuff leaves the viewer back where they started, although How To Cook That specifically will occasionally show the "no, here's how you actually do this, and it takes less time than the tiktok's "time saver"." There's an endless stream of junk to debunk, so you don't really have to worry about running out, per se.)
- gochi 3y agoMost longer form videos about food are half filler, mostly to appease youtube ads.
- cwkoss 3y agoHuh, the two recipes I tried came out great. Any examples of fake tiktok recipes? All the top "How To Cook That" debunking videos seem to be about other youtube videos or just weird food videos that aren't recipes.
- Karrot_Kream 3y agoI follow some YouTubers that try to recreate TikTok recipes and most of them come out just fine. If you're an experienced cook, it's really easy to judge whether a recipe is gonna be decent or not.
- johnnyworker 3y agoI wouldn't call them fake recipes, but here is a youtube channel that is highlighting Tik Tok cooking videos, some of which seem to be just for the video... that is, I don't believe even the people showing those "recipes" are eating that. https://www.youtube.com/@tanaradoublechocolate/videos https://www.youtube.com/@tanaradoublechocolate/videos
