This whole thing seems weird how it started with Sohla, like AR had it out for her, or he did some hosed up stuff to her. Harassed her or who knows what. Maybe some more stuff will come out in the future. I don't know where else he has worked so maybe other people will come out from his past, assuming he is a huge mean racist?

After my first merit review at my current job, I asked a coworker what they received in the way of an increase of their salary in comparison to me and they were dumbfounded that I would discuss such a thing in the office.

I will say that it was kinda weird when BA started the videos as a major push, most of them clearly had no clue what they were doing as TV personalities, and I recall Claire having a protracted contract dispute over all of the extra work from gourmet makes vs her previous baking videos.

Well that was kind of the charm, wasn't it? It wasn't practiced, poised TV personalities showing you how to cook and (usually) not using perfectly prepared swaps. It's very skilled chefs trying stuff that's often out of their comfort zone which is a really cool and useful way to teach cooking in a broad sense, since that's a lot of what the target audience goes through in making normal dishes. You gently caress something up? Sprinkle a little sumac on it and have your very supportive squad tell you it's cool. Knowing that this stuff was being done under duress and that they weren't being properly compensated or that the minorities were dissuaded from doing more experimental stuff, especially when that was the big draw of shows like It's Alive and Gourmet Makes, is pretty disheartening and actually makes watching old shows kinda tough now. That BA panel thing is legitimately cringe.

It was pretty obvious they weren’t well compensated since they don’t own their IP. Only buzzfeed was dumb enough to let them own that.

Sohla would be better at gourmet makes than Claire. She's the only person there who can temper chocolate without loving it up or making 5 lbs of tempered chocolate for 6 mints

i took a coworker out to lunch early on in our current employment. we have the same title, were hired the same day, and have similar responsibilities. he, saying he was left leaning, started asking about my boss vs his boss and whatnot. i asked what he was being paid and he froze. it took him 6 weeks of getting to know me to tell me what his salary was. it was the same as mine. americans are conditioned to "not talk about money" because "it's rude." it is the only time in my professional life I've learned what a coworker made compared to me

"Ok, I just want to take this to 260, it was at 270 last time and it was too hard" "oh no this is at 285. It's fine." "Why won't it pull?"

Sohla completely kicks rear end, and fortunately there's a lot of solace to take in the situation where the problem is with management and corporate horseshit rather than any of the actual talent.

It’s depressing that she got interviewed by GQ (also Conde Nast) a while back where she said she was pigeonholed into the type of food she was expected to make. Then gets hired by BA and the same poo poo happens. This is one of those things where as a white person, you don’t notice it (or at least I didn’t and I feel bad about it). Then someone points it out and of loving course, it’s blindingly obvious in hindsight.

Even if you're someone lucky to be a minor celebrity chef you did your time and know what it's like on the line. I remember watching from the mid way point. Youtube always had BA videos on trending. Ignored it at first but just got curious one time. Clicked a video (its alive with Brad) and i was into it and kept watching and enjoying it. Watching chefs (normal people reallly) get put infront of a camera be awkward; because who wouldn't be? Eventually they got comfortable and you could see peoples personalities really come to light. It was wholesome and fun! I still enjoy all the content even the at home stuff. You see more into the lives of your fav chefs but now it just feels...off. Like knowing what we know now? Certain past videos kind of come across different...Sohlas introduction? Where she barely talked at all? Now it seems obvious she was put there for some reason besides her skills. Even though, i believe, it was stated Chris was one of the ones who advocated for her to get hired. I'm sure as a professional and not for this youtube life. Im gald she fell into her own and really became a great personality in the kitchen. But all that said, drat dude. Totally didny see it. Right infront of out eyes. Real bummer. Well, poo poo, salary or not. Id be down to watch some youtube videos of all the chefs if they wanted to go separate ways! I already watch Munchies and a few other cooking shows. Why not a few more ?
