Last year was perhaps not at all as expected for Ba Tan Vlog, as not only did she get embroiled in countless unnecessary controversies, mainly stemming from her son’s troll videos, but the metrics on her channel also dropped significantly to the point where the number of videos reaching a million views became scarcer than ever. Even after the Lunar New Year, Ba Tan Vlog has not been releasing videos consistently as before, sometimes only producing 1-2 products a week.
And just when it seemed that Ba Tan Vlog had accepted her fate and was not overly focused on reclaiming her former glory, no one expected that recently, Ba Tan surprised the online community and her fans by announcing the establishment of a completely new YouTube channel, which has already garnered around 10,000 subscribers. Accordingly, with the new YouTube channel named “Ba Tan’s Cooking”, many people are puzzled, unsure of her purpose.
Without discussing whether the new YouTube channel will operate effectively, it seems that the content remains centered around giant food dishes, not much different from her previous style. She still starts with the familiar phrase “Hello kids”, maintains the same cooking style, and even the camera angles and settings are nothing new, and the conclusion still calls for the kids to enjoy her dishes, leaving many unclear about what Ba Tan Vlog is really planning. The channel name “Ba Tan’s Cooking” sounds quite similar to “Mom’s Cooking”, leading many to feel that there might be some copying involved here.
Taking a closer look at Ba Tan’s new channel, it appears that after more than a week, there is only 1 new video and the view count has not even reached 100,000 – figures that certainly cannot be compared with her main channel. Therefore, the online community is even more skeptical about whether Ba Tan will invest much in this new YouTube channel, while also being confused about the purpose of creating a new channel that only differs in name but retains the same content style as before.
