This is not an original point, and it’s been raised in this sub before, but TikTok/IG food influencers have become valueless as resources (with the exception of providing quality video of dishes) and I had to vent about it. I don’t fault those folks one bit for getting their money (or restaurants for paying them), but they are not for me. They are all doing the exact same thing: same restaurants, same dishes, same editing style, same VO cadence. They’re SEO-ed up the wazoo and slavishly beholden to the algorithm. I knew things were a problem after realizing how much of the video was being taken behind the counter or in the kitchen. lol
All that’s to say how appreciative I am of THIS group of posters and Reddit in general. I asked a little while ago for people’s favorite NYC restaurant writing and got great recs. I’m still reading and searching. Will share once I have a great list, but until then, it’s you all that I’ll trust the most!
