That’s why they implemented the „Skip to Recipe“ button. No one wants to read through a failed authors shit.

It’s a SEO trick to get better rating on Google

Blame SEO (search engine optimization). Basically, Google and Bing tend to favour websites who have a whole bunch of useless info at the top of the page.

It’s all algorithmically driven. Blame the nerds at Google and Microsoft. The people who run the website with the recipe are just tryna make a buck so they hire SEO experts who format the page in this way.

i don’t even use search engines for cooking anymore, i go to allrecipes.com and just search there. sometimes there’s a bad one that slips through, but they have like 30 recipes for whatever youre looking for so you can always just swap to another one.

also if you do find a good recipe (on any site, really) i highly recommend making a pastebin of it for yourself.

nytimes cooking. done. My wife and I use it ALL THE DAMN TIME and there’s:

1. none of this garbage
2. results are delicious
3. very well laid out in terms of what-to-buy and how-to-cook
4. formatted really well for tablet which is the perfect device for cooking

people here are presenting their fixes well here’s mine

gives you exactly what you need to know from the original recipe site (i havent used it alot so be wary, it could be flawed and miss some steps maybe idk)

This drives me insane. Conventional search engines feel broken for practical information. I’m gonna have another look at Searx and see if I can just add websites to it.

Unfortunately SEO optimization made it proper blogs and articles are burried down the 10th search page. While copy cat click farm websites sit at the top of the results. Blame Google for that

Yes every sponsored click bait article now that looks even remotely interesting is like this.

They use the old “look at the actors from this TV show now” , or the good old “you won’t believe what happened to someone” with photochopped faces to make them look way worse with 38 pages of buildup before they get to the thing in the article if they even cover the thing or person at all.

Often they don’t even show the people pictured in the end! 38 pages of nothing too.

I assume it’s all about serving more ads. I never see the ads with my ad blockers on android but I never click on any of these types of articles now no matter how much I loved the show or subject.

I only needed to put my hand on the hot stove several times before finally learning my lesson…

You can visit based cooking website to get just recipes without any of that other nonsense. I haven’t tried those recipes because I don’t do much cooking but I guess it’s worth a try.

Yeah, I hate looking for recipes on the internet. Why are they all so terribly formatted, is it to prop up the cookbook industry? I don’t normally see conspiracies everywhere, but…

That’s not a food blogger. That’s an AI written click farm. No real people writing that drivel.

If there’s a “print recipe” button click it. Should be all you need.
