‘Food missing in food vlog nahi hona chahiye’

Food content creators Karan Dua, Priyanka Sharma and Darshit Singh examined the shift in food content creation in the age of viral trends in a panel discussion. Karan Dua (@dilsefoodie), “Food vlog mein aaj food nahi hain, food missing nahi hona chahiye. It is the responsibility of vloggers to inform their followers about good food and the stories of those who make it. “There must also be various vloggers asking sellers to perform tricks in order to go viral.”

Content creator Priyanka Sharma (@sadigaddi) said about the reels on food: “It is impossible to talk about food, its origin, in 90 seconds. Limited reel time has also encouraged new creators to come up with viral anchors, which are strange food combinations for content. Food vloggers focus on food. Content changes and audiences change too. I advise food content creators to be responsible and avoid showing experiments they can’t eat themselves.

“Creating mass content is important, but creators need to provide real commentary on food. Everything is subjective anyway. While there is nothing wrong with promoting food brands or restaurants, food influencers should be transparent about it and use features like paid partnerships and #advertisement,” notes food content creator Darshit Singh (@darshitoncam), who calls himself a food influencer .
