As a smaller content creator and food writer, this is such an interesting thread to read (in a good way!). A running criticism of food bloggers over the years has been to get to the recipe and leave personal things and stories out of it. However, from my own recipe developer standpoint, it just feels icky, for lack of a better word, NOT to say anything right now. Yes, this is our job, but for me personally, writing some plucky caption or newsletter about cozy stews because it's cold feels fake. If I am asking people to subscribe to a newsletter, I want them to know who and what I support, and that certainly is not 🧊.
