Now that I have a check mark next to my name I can't complain in the comments when I see something I don't like so here's my reaction to a video that made me unsubscribe from someone.


Self-improvement is fantastic way to meet goals, but if you give yourself the goal of "be better every single day", you might be in for some serious misery.

Despite being distracted by your looks I think you have a lot to say in this. Feel like any youtuber with a moderate audience feels the pressure to depart from their niche and start offering advice pitched at the most lofty level. Since these people rarely (ever?) have it 'figured out' it ends up being a set of disembodied platitudes which are sort of geared to everyone, but no one. That said, it's hard to draw a fine line. You have in some sense broadened beyond 'gastronomy' to offer a kind of life advice on occasion. I think most of your fans like that because you do so in good faith and speak on topics you know. To paraphrase one of your early videos: cooking like everything is inextricably located within culture - so why shouldn't you give your thoughts in other fields to those that want to hear them? I suppose my point is that while most youtubers do life advice wrong, it's not just a case of abstention - you tread the line of offering genuine + interesting + self-aware tips without positioning yourself as someone who has a set of 'rules for life'.

Very well written, and I couldn’t agree more. My interest is heightened by hearing opinions from people who find joy in what they invest their time into. It’s why I invest in this patreon once a month, to be closer to impassioned insight. Thanks for typing that comment out! Made me enjoy the video even more.

Thanks for talking about this! I often find myself swinging between staying up an extra hour to schedule my next day to be “hyper-productive” and feeling horrible about myself when I’m at my limit finishing only 70% of it. I’m not sure if part of the reason this mindset is popular is because of how attractive easy solutions are; those 90 day ab programs or 5 things CEOs do to start their mornings glamorize this idea of success. I appreciate your life takes though, they really come across in a genuine but also applicable way!
