@morax @jkosseff I recall a few years ago a long thread on a social media platform that started with this sentiment, but then filled quickly with passionate replies about why it's important to recipe site authors (and for the life of me I can't recall what the argument was). As social media is wont to do, it turned ugly quickly.
@mikebabyak @morax@satanodon.com @jkosseff It's important to recipe site *owners* because it increases their search engine rank. They started doing it because Google's algorithm deprioritized short results. So, by adding all that text at the beginning, they found that they ended up higher on the results list when people searched for that recipe.
