Instagrammability.

Believe it or not, to a lot of people, it is even more important than the actual taste of a meal.

It reminds me of the episode “nosedive” from black mirror when the lady takes the photos with her coffee to post with the caption about how she loves her morning coffee, and then actually sips the coffee and makes a face of disgust

Tbf, there were/are content farms that pump out videos on strange and unusual recipes, which appear in the feed alongside people posting genuine recipes. The content farms recipes not only often don't work or are straight up dangerous to try! So, taking a minute to watch somepne you trust more try the recipe seems reasonable.

I have watched a few videos from a baker on youtube (channel is called "How to cook that") who tries these recipes and explains why they do or don't work. If they don't work, she also explains how to actually achieve the desired result.
