... that a self-help book inspired the creation of the Cantonese cooking channel Made With Lau which in under a year began making about $50,000 monthly on YouTube ad revenue? Sources:
The article notes: "What began as a small YouTube channel in September 2020 has ballooned into one of YouTube’s largest Chinese cooking channels with over 500,000 subscribers and a growing online community. ... During a quarterly weekend retreat Randy and his wife, Kathlyn, took in March 2020, he became inspired to kickstart his next passion project-cum-career by a book he was reading, “Designing Your Life,” which posited the question, “What would you do if money was not an issue and you would not get judged?”"
The article notes: "Especially with a baby on the way, it became all the more important for him and his wife to figure out what to do next. What pushed him to finally pursue “Made With Lau” was when he utilized a self-help book exercise, which asked him to consider what he would really do if money was not a worry. Before “Made With Lau,” Lau had worked as a digital marketer but he had always been interested in video, and there, he found his answer."
Overall: QPQ done; Earwig cited 38.3% similarity with violation being unlikely. The "People" section would be better renamed as "Staff" or moved under "Background" since it seems out-of-place where it is right now. The emoji from "😋 Dad's EASY Mapo Tofu Recipe, Cantonese style" would be better removed. Not sure if EnVi Media is a reliable source. I think ALT2 is better than the original ALT, as the original one seems wordy. lullabying (talk) 02:06, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the review, lullabying (talk·contribs)! I've renamed the "People" section to "Family members" since they are family members who make up this YouTube channel rather than staff. I think the section is better placed somewhere after the "History" section since the section discusses what the family members do for the channel (as well as their biographies). Putting it before the "History" section would be confusing to readers as they wouldn't have context about what the channel is and what their contributions to their channel mean.
I've removed the emoji.
EnVi Media has editorial oversight; according to https://www.envimedia.co/masthead/. I consider it sufficiently reliable. It has an editor-in-chief, a deputy editor, a managing editor, a senior managing editor, junior managing editors, and a news editors. At https://www.envimedia.co/policies/, it published its editorial policy about journalistic integrity, quoting sources, verification and fact checking, and unpublish requests. The page notes, "As EnVi actively seeks to present accurate information, the facts presented in our articles have undergone a thorough fact-checking process before its publication. In the case of breaking news, EnVi is constantly updating its articles as new information emerges."
