So I used to be a fan of Binging with Babish when Andrew Rea first started out. I don't know what happened over the past year or 2 but now I genuinely find the videos completely insufferable to watch. Does anyone else here feel this way? I just can't help but feel annoyed when watching them.

He was a fun watch when he was genuinely doing it as a hobby, when he was prioritizing his passion for cooking. Now that he does it as a living, he pretty much sold out and only does it for views and ad revenue. Pretty telling with the recent videos he's done which are practically 10-minute paper towel commercials.

Absolutely disappointing and repulsive (not in a disgusting way, more of repelling).

I unironically like ja/ck/ more than this faggot or that cuck regusa, at least ja/ck/ has some entertainment value what with his being a stroke victim and all. the problem with babish is that he doesn't have enough skill/knowledge to compete with the bigger food channels, hell he flat out steals recipes/techniques from americas test kitchen, bon appetite, and alt j lopez. even though he often (not always) credits them, it's still completely derivative. the only reason anyone ever liked him was because he made gimmick tv food, since he's abandoned that he literally has no value. gimme a ja/ck/ product review any day of the week.

Now it's just him stroking his own ego excessively and being an ad for things. Plus there was that time he tried to launch a spin-off where he just read children's books in a really creepy way:

This. I can understand criticisms of his content style, since it's much more polished and analytics-driven now (like any popular youtuber's is) but complaining about ads always bugs me. Sponsors are the only way channels can reliably have income anymore, don't blame the channels, blame Youtube for shitting on the creators with their unreliable review system and blatant stealing of ad money.

Well we know it's at least four from named team members in the videos. The biggest secondary overhead would definitely be the kitchen space, which considering it's in Manhattan would be expensive af. They're definitely earning way, way above 12 grand a month with that kind of setup, the kitchen space alone costs at least 2 or 3k, if not more.

he doesn't even show you how to make beef broth in the video, instead choosing to use store-bought beef broth and add herbs to it. what the fuck? in all his other recipe and tutorial vids he makes so much stuff from scratch! but not here, not anymore.
and with the whole caramelizing onions thing he doesn't even talk about that really. how did he get this way? he actually puts more effort into his ads and product placement than some of his actual cooking demonstrations.
