It's been a very long time since I've visited a recipe site that didn't have a prominent 'jump to recipe' button. Recipes have stories because some people value them, and they have a button for those who don't.
This is a tired, old complaint made by people who don't actually ever cook or read recipes, they just want to shop AI solutions / flog their 'innovative' start-up / write about a different topic entirely but draw readers in initially with a 'kids these days' tone.
- daveguy 4y agoSites have stories because recipes cannot be copyrighted, but stories can.
- Planktonne 4y agoThat is one of the reasons for some of those stories, sure. However, the specifics of reasons have basically nothing to do with the trend of tech evangelists making the same tedious and inaccurate arguments again and again. In this article, the blogger decrying the practice links to a recipe blogger who's already covered the same ground more efficiently; this isn't even hot air. 'Why do tech bloggers always use this outdated example to pad things' is a better and far more original question.
