Quickie: Clickbait Cooking Videos

Anne Reardon has an excellent series on her channel, How to Cook That, where she debunks a lot of commonly shared “food hacks”.

Her latest video involves her uncovering a “fake” cooking YouTube channel network, and the methods of her investigation are similar to how I look into fake news websites:

  • Reverse image searches
  • Searching specific phrases within a webpage
  • Looking up addresses made available on a page’s “Contact Us” space

Check out her video, and her whole channel! [Link to her latest video]
