Kenji isn't really representative of the path most people can take.

His reputation is almost exclusively from his superb cooking articles (and recipes). The Youtube channel is a side dish, not the main course.

I said his videos are very popular because he’s a great chef. Nowhere did I imply that you can go from nothing to famous person by strapping a GoPro to your head. I mentioned Kenji because he’s an example of someone who makes great videos with absolute bare minimum production effort. The person I replied to talked about how video production had gotten in the way of the enjoyment of the craft. I think Kenji’s videos are a perfect example of how to avoid that problem. That doesn’t mean following this advice will lead to instant wealth and fame.

Ultimately, there is no formula for fame because audiences are fickle and trends are fleeting.
