Trouble is every third recipe is junk 'content' provided by somebody spamming the internet with made-up nonsense, for ad revenue I imagine.

  The article mentions that user submitted recipes are now vetted by employees before becoming visible on the site.

    Recipes have vetted and semi-officially published by employee editors for a long time. Probably since Tim Hunt left the company The company deliberately started disguising ads as content a decade ago, and soon after upped the ads-to-content ratio. Revenue was declining and their solution was to show more ads and to make them more annoying.

    If they don't cook them, then 'vetting' might not be as effective as we'd like.

      The complaint was about "made up nonsense", not "something that I don't think I would personally enjoy eating".

        ANd you have to try the recipe to see if you get anything remotely edibile. Not a cook? A little mistake in measurement is the difference between delicious and not fit for dogs. I tried the 'original' recipe for brownies as posted by the hotel (still in business) that 'invented' them 100 years ago. It was a disaster. Dumped it into the compost heap. Maybe don't put words in other people's mouths next time?
