Glad to see this comment. I'm a huge Ann Reardon fan, and her original video that got her into this "debunking" theme is still great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6abePkXncCM

Still, it's a little depressing that someone who made great, inspiring, detailed and actually feasible cooking/baking content found that they couldn't really pay the bills with that content, but instead it turned out that debunking all the BS on YouTube was a better way to actually get paid.



I'm a huge fan as well. She does an amazing job, and seems to be one of the only people on YT who is actually pointing out all the BS a lot of these "crafts" and "baking" channels are.

And she communicates a lot with YT trying to get them to remove some of the more dangerous "hacks" and I believe has also been successful with certain attempts in the past.
