    when a content creator gets jealous of a bigger creators channel. I worked with josh in texas, dude was a good line cook and a god damn information sponge. Why become a MR beast clone? money…..its called money, this is how youtubers make money. Josh has 10x the subs this guy has. He is just using Josh’s name to get views, which FAR worse than anything he is accusing Wiessman of.

    You know you’ve made it when people trying to take you down becomes its own cottage industry.

    It’s funny how behaviour that is acceptable in a kitchen environment is abhorrent for a YouTube chef lol

    Like I don’t condone being an asshole but everything it’s described as him doing is shit I’ve experienced in amateur and professional kitchens

  4. Youtubers complaining about Youtubers is almost as annoying as servers complaining about other servers.

    Never really understood how Weissman even became popular, really. He’s annoying as hell, never provided any new info, technique or ideas that weren’t already around. But yeah, it’s all kind of food slop now – him and Babish are just what everyone else was doing 5 years ago and ranking “what shitty food is the least shitty!”

  6. Lowest common denominator influencers. Cringe sliders set to max.

    In this case, he becomes a dbag YouTube celebrity cook. 

    Seriously there’s no food content creator I’ve seen that I’d rather not watch than JW.

    I do feel bad for Babish, his personal life off of YouTube has been a little rough, won’t speak for him, but it’s out there if you google it. Honestly think his personal stuff spilled into his content production, and had a big impact on the quality of his content

    Does this man not understand how a microphone works?

    > Another former employee told me that Weissman once got annoyed with them for making noise, and he threatened to stick a gun in their mouth and pull the trigger, a threat made more disturbing in the context of the regular violent outbursts that Weissman’s employees described.

    Damn, that’s pretty fucked

    Can’t hear anything with the music in the background

    I liked him *enough* years ago that I found him entertaining, but he’s become completely delusional. His fan base was/were mostly people who had never worked in a kitchen and didn’t grasp the concept of up-selling ingredients in commercial kitchens, so his series about making things ‘cheaper’ did well *at first*. As time went on, it quickly devolved into, “here’s how to make this [well known commercial meal] but use $100 worth of ingredients” for example. Dude is grasping for attention. Even his own subreddit hates him.

    Shoutout to Brian Lagerstrom for being everything these clowns wish they were.

    Oh joy, another influencer stealing content to fuel his own ego and business. Though to be fair, that’s the normal these days. You ever wonder why you see random dipshits in video shorts, peak laziness money making.

  15. Didn’t it come out he wasn’t even a line cook? He was a prep cook and was only on the line for a few months

    The last time I watched his content, uncle Roger made fun of him for installing a marble countertop, that he couldn’t use without permanently staining. He has to get another marble slab to lay on top

    Another victim of the “Beastification” of youtube.

    As Jack put it “making videos became more about views and money than it did about having fun”

    Josh seemed cool at first, and I almost bought his cookbook, but as his channel grew and grew, I couldn’t pinpoint why I stopped watching.

    Now that I can see past all the bullshit, hes a pretty shitty youtuber. To me, it’s not about how many subs you have, how consistent your content is, or who you have sponsored you (unless its Honey or some shit). Its easier to sense honesty the more you age and this guy is putting on a persona he is genuinely sick of.

  18. The only food youtuber worth watching in this day and age is Ordinary Sausage.

    capitalization spoiled a lot of good honest pro bono content, all along the internet, its most visible in these multimedia platforms but its everywhere, making the content be awarded not by its usefulness or true creativity but for its reach/marketing potencial.

    The amount of good content out there that will never be successfull or even be discovered because of amateurish video production is saddening.

    THis guy just makes content for reach, its his job, i guess, cant blame anybody just for being successful, same way theres restaurants doing silly salt bae stuff, people pay for it, most wont care its a gimmick or overcharged. I want to find a channel that redirects me to somebody elses for a recipe because they acknowledge its already been done perfectly, no need for more duplicate content.

    This guy though(and many like him), nothing to do about it individually, collectibly, we are dumb, looking for easy lame predictable entertaining.

    Idk about cooking but my fave channel is sorted foods

    I just want to say-

    Adam Ragusea rocks.
    If you’re looking for a food channel that doesn’t suck, I highly recommend
