@HowToCookThat 2 года назад

In response to comments about the new marshmallow waffle video that has since been uploaded... At no point in this video did I say the marshmallow recipe was "fake". I said it was technically possible, as it is just melting a marshmallow and letting it set again. I also said it would be tricky on a waffle maker. I then showed making it and found it was not a good choice of appliance and not fast either. Most people who try what was shown in the original video will end up with a mess on their waffle maker that is very hard to clean. The new yummy waffle video shows exactly what I already said and showed in my video: 1. As I said in my video, it is technically possible. 2. You need to add oil (which is what Dave tasted and said it was not good with marshmallow) 3. You need a waffle maker without a pattern or it will stick and need hours of cleaning 4. You don't put the lid down for the whole time or it will stick 5. You need to let the marshmallow cool before removing it from the waffle maker - which takes about 15 minutes of waiting (this is not shown in their original video but is shown in the updated version). In this video, I show a much faster, cleaner and easier method that tastes good. Please ensure that you actually watch this video first before leaving a comment that doesn't make sense.

At this point, RU-vid is just absolutely disgusting. As you've already pointed out in a previous debunking video, "money is the driver". RU-vid will go out of their way to let these content farms remain on the platform, just because it's a good business model for them. The more people stay in an endless cycle of randomly repeated food videos and the more they engage, the more RU-vid as a whole gets traffic and "time spent in-app".

@ruthspanos2532 2 года назад

I am not saying that this a a real explanation. But a relatively non-sinister explanation could be that the stories got clicks, so they just put the audio with the video without any concern about content. No need to attribute to conspiracy what can be explained by greed.

@thedestroyasystem 2 года назад

@@ruthspanos2532 that’s what I’m figuring, too. I mean look at My Story Animated and all those kinds of channels, they’ve been doing this for ages, they’ve just been more upfront about it. I can see why a channel that doesn’t want to put in the effort of animating something, but does want to crank out viral videos, would take the audio from a story that’s already proven to garner RU-vid success and add visuals from another RU-vid trend. I’ve seen animations, slime, other “oddly satisfying” type stuff, food hacks/recipes, and more set to these audios.

@Faucetofstone 2 года назад

My guess is this was done because of the weird phenomenon and "sub-genre" of true crime where people watch similar cooking vids and make up vids while listening to an actual horrific true crime story.

To add to what Ann said about not answering the door for strangers, if someone asks for your parents or asks if you’re alone, NEVER tell them that you’re alone/that your parents are gone/etc., even if they claim to be a family friend or a coworker!

@andreeacat7071 2 года назад

Yes, you always say that they’re upstairs or otherwise occupied. Then you close the door and hope they didn’t catch you lying. That’s why you don’t open the door; you don’t know if they’re going to try something. It’s better for them to just assume nobody’s home or that someone’s in the house but they’re not answering. If in the end, they break in, at least you get a chance to hide because you don’t know what a person would do with unsupervised access to a minor.

Hi, a local here, about the Vietnamese content farm one, I say this got through because most of older generation of parents in VN are not good with English. Therefore, even when children put these on speaker, the parents most likely will not understand. It's very sinister as the shady company put these kind of content into their already stolen videos of cakes in the name of learning English (which I think that's what they were going for to bypass the strict monitor and censorship in VN). Thank you for bringing this into light, Miss Ann. Love your works!

What I find particularly disturbing about the "children stories" is that there is a very large portion of the children population that is abused at home (the numbers are between 1 in 3 to 1 in 5 children in the world experience some form of abuse, usually from relatives) that is EXTRA vulnerable. Particularly when it comes to tales of finding a savior in a stranger (a myth quite prevalent among us because obviously non-strangers are either abusers or some version of enablers), and knowing how little kid/teen fiction addresses this audience specifically (out of fear of shocking the non-abused children, oftentimes). So that makes those stories disgusting in my eyes because it feels predatory.

My mom has done quite a bit of work in emotional healing, and from what she's learned, I'd say your comment is highly accurate. Apparently most school bullies actually have deep insecurities or an abusive home life, and fall to bullying because it gives them a feeling of power and control over their lives. Honestly, as much as stuff like these grooming videos scares me, it makes me even sadder on top of that, because it's just continuing a cycle of pain and heartache that will take a long time to be resolved. So thank you for your insightful comment, and to everybody else in this comments section and Mrs. Reardon herself for being so sensible, levelheaded, and aware of what's going on in the world! We desperately need more of this kind of truly adult behavior!

Omg those videos are a whole genre. My dad is addicted to these videos, which are stories in Chinese about cheating, family drama, creepy stories, etc, over videos of hands manipulating colorful magic sand and playdoh, doing wood work, crafting, etc. I'm just hoping he's not getting into cult or Christian conversion stuff, but he's just happy to let the algorithm serve up tons of this stuff to him 😬

@traceybrenneman2291 2 года назад

Oh my gosh! I am just appalled at the stories you were talking about. I am a child welfare professional and I can tell you those stories are ABSOLUTELY inappropriate - not only for children, but possibly even for adults who have past trauma. These situations could definitely be trauma triggers! Plus - WHY? What the heck do these stories have to do with cooking? I just don't get it. Thank you for telling us about this.

@Mama_Bear524 2 года назад

Also, someone else in the comments said that they’re even grooming kids because they’re normalizing weird and wrong adult behaviour. I thought that was a good point

@1234cheerful 2 года назад

Oh, the stories have nothing to do with cooking--they just use the visual to slide the inappropriate stuff right in under your radar. While your eyes see soothing, enjoyable videos of cookies and cakes and sugary treats (probably causing some dopamine bursts), you hear stories that would be frightening on their own and would raise questions, but the good feelings of the competently handled batter and dough and thoughts of sugar override skepticism, for the young and inexperienced, the gullible, the innocent who will take it all in without question and remember the good feeling. My theory anyway.

@marshmallow4646 2 года назад

So you have two audiences, one that will mute the video and just watch the baking stuff, and another that hears those stories and gets hooked and doesn't care about the baking, some of them play off your fear and are about how blank got out of a dangerous situation and they freak you out but make you want to listen so it won't happen to you

@ruminationstation4200 2 года назад

We have a tendency to look down on "stupid" people and blame them for their own misfortune. If you aren't smart enough to not get taken advantage of, that's your own fault, I guess. It's very survival of the fittest/late stage capitalism. But with kids that argument falls apart. they're one of the only groups where as a society nearly all of us are in agreement that their vulnerability is something we have a moral obligation to protect from those who would exploit them rather than joining in. Once you look at RU-vid kids content, it very quickly becomes obvious that there is something truly evil happening in plain sight.

The stories in those cake making videos would likely be triggering for people who have been in similar situations, like child victims of DV. That's not good! I had mild anxiety listening (C-PTSD sufferer) even though they didn't directly relate to my past abuse and I'm well on my way to recovering. Can I suggest you add a trigger warning please to protect your viewers? I didn't notice it hear one, so please ignore if I missed it.

@AlexaFaie 2 года назад

@@C1r0-C0r0 Its because they're careful in what they count as a content farm. They count a content farm as being a channel that just reposts videos from other channels without being the original creator. But those channels operate as a family of channels with the same company making them all so they are not just reposting someone else's stuff, they're choosing to in effect upload the same video to multiple channels. Which is just as bad, but means google can look the other way and just take the money.

@elainelouve 2 года назад

Very true! It's also like 70% of the ads are legit and 30% are scams. But of course the scammers are paying RU-vid, so why should they care? Some channels have also pointed out the hypocrisy of RU-vid restricting legit sex education, but promoting sexually explicit ads.
