The future sucks

Search engines favor text earlier in the site. Text "above the fold" (the area where you wouldn't have to scroll to see it) is scored higher.

Ahh, that explains it then. Cheers!

If the "jump to recipe" button doesnt work or doesnt exist, Im out.
Sadly, by the time you see that the button isn't there, you've already given them the visit and ad impressions... Well, unless you run an ad blocker but what horrible person would do that?

eh bad take imo, this is one of the few places where AI shines, it's great because you no longer need to go to a recipe website to begin with, you just ask it for a recipe and it gives you one and then you can discuss different variants etc
It's awesome that it gives you cooking tips you'll find no where else, like adding glue to improve the consistency of cheese. Or making sure you get your recommended daily serving amount of rocks.

Adblocker FTW. Also im pretty sure ads dont pay shit without clickthrough. God the current financialisation of the web sucks ass.

you should ask ai why you don't have a gf
Ok, you made me look.
Perplexity got the longest, most boring and uplifting article about how it's normal and there's nothing to worry about. It never mentioned that my wife would dislike the idea, so the personalization was off for the day.
Also, it gave no references. What is weird. Like if the text was hardcoded there.

I would never trust it’s answer to “how much bell pepper should I put in the recipe?” (Which I believe is what recipes are about)
I mean to be fair, you're free to click on the links if you want to verify these things no?
Oh, I didn't know they do links now
In this case I'll give you that it can be useful (mostly in reading several recipes and summarizing), but personally I'm still going to do the old school web search (if anything, just to exercise my information retrieval skill, which I believe is important)

over robust, verifiable information
Random websites are robust, verifiable information now are they? How times change
30 years ago I was told they are unreliable and to use books in the library for research
20 years ago I was told using WebMD was unreliable, after all it will just say you have cancer laugh out loud! Using the internet for medical information? Crazy!
I wonder where we'll be in 20 or 30 years time
Hopefully somewhere less impatient and stupid. Won't know where your arrogant ass is though, since you're about to be blocked

Is there a site that does it right? I just need an ingredient list, times, temperatures and maybe a handful of specific pointers if I really need them.

Holy fuck I needed this in my life
A website that begs you to download their app instead of just having recipes?

True, it does advertise its app. But you can still put in a recipe link and it cleans it up without the app or logging in. Which is way better than the original recipe website.

Someone should make a browser extension or something that automatically recognizes what part of the page is the recipe, extracts it, and only shows you that.

Those are put there for SEO purposes. Google favors sites with these big stories. The copyright issue alone doesn't justify what's there; you could do a quick blurb of a few sentences and it would be enough. Plenty of cookbooks do that.
This is why a lot of those sites have a button that says "skip to recipe". It's a bunch of text that's meant to be for robots, not you, and they really don't care if you read it.
Now that it's being created by LLMs, we may have the first known example of human language written by robots and intended for robots. Welcome to a cyberpunk dystopia.
There's so much "work" done in our capitalist society that is actively creating a drag on our lives, all to extract more money from us to the billionaire class. It will never be enough for them. Bezos and Fuckerberg would own slaves if the state allowed them to.

That actually sucks. Googles SEO algorithms force websites to homogenize.

But I was told capitalism was the most efficient system.

Don't worry about it, it's just more efficient.
