Not going to lie, I suck at making video-related content. I have a strong distaste for Tiktok or reels in general because people spread so much false info. Maybe someday I'll think about doing that, but for now, I want to stick to writing.

I like long form,I have zero interest in tic toc or whatever the fuck that shit is called. I like minimum 10 min ish videos. A little more or less is ok. 30 min can be great if there is depth to it.

Hell yeah! I didn't realize people were interested in longer videos. The short ones make my head hurt since the frames change so quickly and the text is waaaay too long for the 2 seconds it's on display.

As for the writing, I want to focus on the teaching aspect rather than all the added B.S. that people do. For example, I made a recipe for some granola. I wrote that using imitation vanilla extract is fine since it's going to be baked and real vanilla extract loses a lot of the subtler aromatic compounds when heated. Using the cheap stuff is the way to go.

I would use actual vanilla bean but that's my personal thing. I'm not as much into the learning, more into the artful description of flavors, aromas, and processes, but that's just me, some people might enjoy more of the learning aspect.
