This guy usually makes some modifications to recipes to make them accessible to his audience, but he usually points it out or describes it as inspired by or in the style of, yet people always bitch about it in the comments. They usually get pushed down after a few days tho so you may not see any.

>Are italians the most toxic chefs on earth?
No Americans are, the rest of the world don't give a shit about how you make chilli, pizza, sushi etc but you insist it's the best and original recipes are wrong.
