How do you propose anyone (Google or humans) differentiate between 500 mostly-similar recipes for brownies? I think HNers look at food blogs with a very depressing robotic expectation.
- rawoke083600 4y agoHow is picking the one with the longest word count the best ??
- swiftcoder 4y agoThis is what algorithms like PageRank were originally designed to do. Once upon a time the popular brownie recipes are the ones that everyone linked to, or the ones on the cooking sites that everyone linked to. To be clear, I don't really care if the person wants to put their life story on their recipe site. I am annoyed that they are forced to do so in a really mechanical and disingenuous way just to make a Google algorithm happy - and as a result I lean heavily on the recipe sites that have alternate marketing channels/revenue streams (i.e. Serious Eats, ChefSteps, etc)
