Have you read a recipe on the Internet? The first half is all filler. Not sure why but it's a plague
- rainsford 3y agoRecipe blogs were the first thing I thought of! At least most of those have a link at the top to jump right to the recipe.

- red-iron-pine 3y agotrue-ish, but also because lots of scrolling means you can throw tons of ads before you reach actual recipe measurements
- rchowe 3y agoRecipes aren't copyrightable, so websites add some filler that is copyrightable to the start.
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 3y agoSo just copy the part that is without copyright somewhere else.
- yowzadave 3y agoWhy would anyone want to steal the filler? I had assumed people did this for some inscrutable SEO reason
- ghaff 3y agoA barebones recipe is a complete commodity on the Internet and aside from maybe some ratings you have no idea if you should make it or not. The life history on some sites can definitely go too far but mostly I appreciate some of the backstory about why they made certain choices in a recipe and what else they tried.
