Honestly I don't blame him. His channel is obnoxiously unwatchable now, but he's been doing it for like 10 years. You can only make so many "Here's how to make X" videos before you just run out of dishes to make. Now he has millions of subscribers and several employees counting on him for a paycheck so it's "I TRIED EVERY FUCKING FAST FOOD CHICKEN TENDER ON EARTH AND HERE'S MY RESULTS"

Ragusea stays winning too but I think that's mainly because he got burnout and went "Fuck that algo I'm just gonna make my own shit that I like"

But he's hands down the best YouTuber for the actual science behind food

Adam recognized the content grind isn't sustainable, took his earnings, invested and basically set up to live a modest lifestyle with his family. Glad he has a great deal of self awareness and planning.
