That's a Google problem not a woman problem.

more text = longer page = more ad space, almost every recipe site looks like this now to generate ad revenue.

Just scroll or buy cookbooks, who cares?

It's so fucking irritating. There are no good free resources online anymore, they all at the least want to sell your data or use your time to show you ads.
>cornbread recipe
>entire first page of google results
>click on one that says something like, "Cornbread recipe YUMMY tastes great!!!"
>get to page, it's an article, my adblocker reports the page is plastered with ads and "this page wants to show you notifications" and "please register now!" popups
>find article beginning next to a huge unnecessary picture of cornbread
>"So you want to make cornbread....Okay, but first, let's take a step back."
>"what is cornbread"
>10 paragraphs later
>followed by
>"the history of cornbread"
>20 paragraphs later
>followed by "The health risks and benefits of cornbread"
>scroll all the way to the fucking bottom (Assuming the article is not in pages, worse if you can't skip to the end and have to just hit "next page")
>see the ingredient list, finally, but it's full of a bunch of unnecessary niche foreign ingredients that you won't be able to find in the store
>cook it and it tastes like shit
Honestly I prefer YouTube or cookbooks. At least with YouTube you can skip past all the crap or just look at the video description for the recipe.

This. I was looking up blender reviews and the first page is fucking Cosmo and GQ reviewing blenders because Google sucks corporate cock more than ever now.

Don't hold the down cursor to scroll website pages. If you click on the cursor bar to the right you can drag the page down until you spot the section formatted like a recipe in less than a second. You can also press the end key to jump directly to the bottom.

This is only a real problem if you're not using an actually reputable source for your recipes.

Serious Eats
Bon Appetit
King Arthur Flour
NYT Cooking
Etc.

stop using google

>>14954637
This is because of how advertising and adspace works, they’re only doing it because of google

>>14954638
this is what it is. if you want higher pagerank you have to include all of this extra stuff

>>14954761
I don't understand how they can claim they aren't being uncompetitive at this point. the entire first page of google is now all sponsored results on many searches and even into the second page often.

pro tip

Get the "Recipe Filter" extension (for Chrome, anyway). It finds the part where they actually show you the fucking recipe and displays it over that wall of text.

Don't worry, the Australian court is taking them to school.

>>14954938
if the EU tracking laws are any indication, google will only implement changes in markets in which it is forced to do so

Assaa

Just learn how to cook cornbread yourself

>ass vinegar
tell us your stories, anon

>>14954637
Why are people so obsessed with this sourdough autismo?

Just add vinegar to your bread, you fucking idiots, if you want a sour bread.

Dipshits.

I hate women so much, bros.

>>14954637
>have to scroll through a short story about her “hubby” or kids’ food preferences before even starting to reference the recipe

Housewives need to entertain themselves somehow. It's boring stuck at home all day.

I always imagine these woman being completely deluded and cooking these recipes for their cats.

You forgot
>and my grandmother used to make me cornbread when I was a kid. She came over from the old country and brought over this recipe.
>30 paragraphs about their grandmother.
>recipe is the same on the side of the cornmeal box.

>>14958152
But that part is at the end of the recipe, you had to scroll down to read that.

I miss the old internet.

>>14959351
>you had to scroll down to read that.

You scroll down to skip the babble. But they sandwich the recipe now between babble. Soon there will be a babble intermission.

>>14954637
There's nothing that wrong with this in particular though. It at least has to do with sourdough.
It's only a problem when they start rambling on about their husband and kids and irrelevant anecdotes.

>use imageboard
>200 posts of people arguing inane shit with strangers they should know are disingenous
>5 images

Do agree with OP though. I copy recipes into paint so I don't have to go back these sites.

>>14958152
lmao, if all these recipe blogs ended with that i could tolerate it

>>14959280
This one is the worst. Most of my actual family recipes would be hated by the general public. That's why they're family recipes. Nostalgia and tradition play a lot into what we enjoy.

>>14958152
maybe her babies got bored to death cause she had to ramble about the history of breastmilk for 3 hours before each feeding

>>14954637
tldr should always go at the top. The entire internet fucks this up not just recipes.

>>14960081
you forgot
>100 posts of fat retards arguing about which fast food place is better

>>14960081
I write them down by hand like the boomer i am

>>14958152

literally just buy an old NYT standard cookbook from the 80s or early 90s for five bucks, no bs doesn't treat you like an idiot and has any standard american/euro-american dish you can think of off the top of your head. looks patrician too in your kitchen

>>14954637
IT'S REALLY NOT THAT HARD TO SCROLL PAST IT

My sister is a food journalist and used to write recipe articles like this, so I used compressed air to abort her 8 month old half black pregnancy. She screamed uncontrollably and passed out in my bean bag chair after giving birth to the remains.

I have zero tolerance for miscegenation.

i keep mine on google docs so i can easily edit them, or print extras for my grandpa.

Every article about anyhing nowadays is like reading some retard's blog about themselves.

>scroll down to the comments to see if anyone has made modifications to improve the recipe
>50+ comments all saying something like "wow this looks good!" or "I can't wait to make this!"
>literally no comments by someone who has actually cooked the dish
Goddamn it

>>14964103
Probably because half the people are there for the babble before the recipe.

Sourdough is easy to make and you can keep a batch going and pull off of it, ideal if you're using a lot of bread. The taste is just a bonus
