Hot take: Sourdough starters went from family secret to internet trend
I remember when keeping a sourdough starter was something only a few people did. My aunt had one passed down, and it felt special. Now, I see tons of posts online from beginners sharing their first attempts. It's great that so many are learning, but it feels different. Back then, you learned from someone in person or from an old cookbook. Today, you can watch a video and get started in minutes. I guess I miss the slow, personal touch of it all.
