So, to bypass some individual’s reservations towards trying the recipes shown online,
our group thought of integrating Yelp-like feature’s into Youtube. These new
features will:
1. Allow other users who passively view Youtube content to gauge how doable a
specific recipe is which will hopefully give them the motivation to try their hand
at making a new dish and learning a new skill.
2. Connect with others who have tried the dish and gather some tips and tricks
on how to succesfully execute the recipe.

From our user research, our team uncovered that many users find their influencers
to be inspirations. Users aspire to do the same things and live the same way as their
influencers. However, more often than not, users get sucked into passively watching
Youtube videos rather than actually engaging with the material presented. To bridge
the gap within the Youtube experience, our team decided to gamify the Youtube
watching experience by adding achievement badges.
Each achievement is designed by Youtube and influencer channels that people sub-
scribe to. The achievements can be unlocked depending on certain interactions with
Youtube pages and is intended to motivate people to not only take their learnings
into real life, but also follow their dreams in living like their influencers, in a healthy
way of course.
