Actress Judy Ann Santos said Friday she had stopped filming episodes of her eponymous YouTube channel to avoid alienating viewers who may not be able to afford the ingredients in her recipes.
Judy Ann's Kitchen, which has 1.69 million followers, has not been updated since the ABS-CBN talent's maja blanca recipe from five months ago. High prices are a "reality", she said.
"Hindi naman sobrang busy. Ang hirap kasing mag-isip ng mga episodes especially kung ang pagtaas ng presyo ng bilihin ay napakalala. Ayokong 'di maka-relate 'yung viewers sa kung ano mang lutuin ang gagawin ko kasi parang napaka-unfair naman," she told her co-hosts while cooking tinapa rolls.

"Tuma-timing lang naman din ako. Ayoko lang na parang masabihan ako na 'luto ka nang luto, 'di naman namin magagawa yan.' 'Di naman ako pumapatol, pero after lang ako sa reality ba."
She told her co-hosts she would make more videos when the inspiration hits.
"Outlet ko ang Judy Ann's Kitchen. Ayoko siyang tratuhing trabaho. 'Pag trinato ko na siyang trabaho, mawawala na 'yung genuine at authenticity."
