For many of the Internet's biggest food personalities, YouTube has been the incubator that eventually launched them into wider mainstream success. Nowadays it's easy to get lost in the endless, algorithmically boosted diversity of cuisine centric content, be it instructional videos, budgeting challenges, or infamous "what I eat in a day" documentation. Despite this breadth of options, anyone who subscribes to some of the heavier hitters on the website know that the plague of formulaic, ad-revenue focused YouTube content is hard to escape.
That's why Arizona based video artist, home cook, and YouTuber Victor, known by his screen name of "Internet Shaquille," feels like a breath of fresh air. Victor is not trying to sell you sponsored cookware, he's not attempting to reach a benchmark to squeeze one last ad in, and he's certainly not invested in forging a brand (whatever that means, these days.) In other words, he's the foil to your typical lifestyle YouTuber.
