Wazzup Pilipinas!
Should we create vlogs to contradict what these jokers called Team Patakam are doing?
Team Patakam nagbahagi daw ng mga tips kung paano maging viral ang mga videos lalo na sa mga gusto pa lang pumasok sa mundo ng vlogging.
Just reposting a comment;
"Kapag sila ang nag review ay "Ang sarap!"....pero kapag ikaw na ang kumain sasabihin mo ay "Sana sa iba na lang ako kumain"
Overhyped and exaggerated lang ang peg. Kaya mawawalan ng tiwala ang mga tao sa mga vloggers ay dahil sa mga kagaya ng mga Team Patakam"
Huwag gayahin ang mga ito. Maraming food vloggers na hindi sinasabi ang totoo. Yung totoo lang sana ang ikukuwento please.
They just follow trends, but rarely set the trends.
Ang Team Patakam ay binubuo nina: Manuel Olazo, Naomi Peña, Ran Mamangun, Laine Bernardo, at Jayzar Recinto.
Though taste varies per person, what may taste good for some may not be the same for others .. may mga food vloggers kasi that don't really tell the truth...masyadong exag o hyped para lang mapansin ang kanilang vlog.
Also, the media who published these features are forgetting to mention factors such as hygiene, cleanliness, ambiance and other considerations, especially if the sellers are street foods or karinderia setup. Sabi nga ng iba, mas masarap yung inihaw sa tabing kalsada kasi may halong pollution, katulad ng usok ng mga kotse, alikabok, pawis ng mga nagluluto, marumi at hindi nahugasan ng maayos na mga cooking and dining utensils, mga sahog na mababang kalidad , etc. But are they good for us healthwise? Again, these media are just also after the views. Papansin din. Wala sigurong mas worthy and significant stories out there. Nakiki sakay rin sa trending o viral?
We need to inform our viewers about these facts. Not give them more disinformation or fake facts. We are only twisting the narratives in our favor but harming our fellowmen in the process.
Remember that we usually get what we paid for, so there's a reason for everything. Every smart businessman knows that we need to account for the costs of providing the better location, ambiance, ingredients, service, marketing, etc.
So asks the right questions like why are softdrinks cheaper than real fruit juices? Should we settle for less but eventually harm ourselves? Should we prefer quality instead of quantity?
It doesn't always mean that a lomihan that serves with umaapaw na sahog o toppings are better. Let us reflect on that.
Turuan natin ng better way to do food reviews itong mga pabibo vloggers. They do know how to entertain but fail in informing us about the facts that really matter.
Most content creators, specifically those who feature food and restaurants, do not have the expertise to properly review. They do not have the knowledge, training and exposure similar to how chefs and other culinary experts are groomed through years of training, study or actual practice.
Content Creators of whatever platform are more like entertainers whose objective is to attract attention towards the brands or products they are featuring.
Effective ka kung nakuha mo attention ng viewers but it doesn't automatically mean that what you stated is entirely true and factual.
Yun lang naman ang primary goal natin but let us not forget that we should also have the responsibility to let people know that.
May form of "disclaimer" dapat palagi tayo on our content.
Similar to advertisements, people should not instantly believe what Content Creators claim.
