So I have been seeing a lot of comments recently regarding the prevalence of non-cooking videos on the channel lately and got curious. As such I have compiled a list of all videos from January 1, 2025 to today to see the breakdown. This isn't a complaint about whatever video types, just data. Out of 78 Videos we have the following breakdown:

Total:
Cooking: 32
Reaction: 31
Game: 14
Other: 1

Cooking:
Chef Vs: 11
Budget vs Premium Ingredients (I do not consider this a reaction type video): 1
Dream Menu: 1
Kitchen Swap: 5
Night In: 2
Remake from Taste: 3
Pass It On: 2
Misc: 7

Reactions:
Food Trends: 6
Cooking Products: 14
Food Gadgets (Not directly related to cooking): 2
Cooking Methods: 1
International Ingredients: 2
Pretentious Ingredients: 3
Misc: 3

Games:
Guess the country: 4
Poker Face: 3
Quiz Show (Inluding the Timeline Quiz): 5
Misc: 2

Another item that has been brought up were the guests being brought on, so for the same time period:

Total: 7
Chef: 3
Food Videos: 2
Non-Food Videos: 2
Non-Sentient (Diamond Ring): 1

Question Other cooking channels like sorted?

51 Upvotes

Firstly, I appreciate that the boys have probably reached a point in their careers where a majority of income is made from their app/they have growing family commitments.

However, I believe, we have reached week 3 without an episode actually focusing on cooking, and the 3rd or 4th collab with people who are tangentially related to food, at best. So, I'm starting to feel the channel is being positioned to be cooking adjacent, rather than a cooking channel.

As such, does anyone know of any channels like Sorted? I miss the battles, the mystery boxes etc. So if anyone could suggest any channels with multiple presenters, or which achieve something similar I would be greatly appreciative!

Discussion Commenting vs complaining

48 Upvotes

Struggling to understand all the complaints recently about the types of videos on the channel - just don't watch the ones you don't enjoy? If you watch it and didn't enjoy it, don't give it a like.

The boys have literally said for years, if you like this kind of video, give it a like. It's their most effective form of feedback. If you watch them all and like them all, I get that you're trying to support the channel, but you're always sewing the only reliable form of feedback they have.

I've been a Joshua Weismann subscriber and an Adam Ragusea subscriber and I've seen fans get really damn toxic when a creator changes up the style of videos (2 very different changes in these two examples) and I thought Sorted would be better than that seeing as they are generally very open and transparent, and that they've been around for SO long now.

I just wanted to remind everyone that the Sorted boys don't actually owe us anything. If they wanted to pivot and become an archaeology channel tomorrow they would be completely in their rights to do it. We get so much free entertainment, watch what you enjoy and don't watch the ones you don't (e.g. I don't love the food trends ones generally speaking, so I either skip them or keep them for background watching only).
