  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

AFAIK it has to be like that because you can't copyright a recipe. But, you can copyright the rest. The other reason is SEO. Dump as many keywords into the text as possible, and the recipe shows up near the top of the search results.

What I like are tools that can find the recipe in the text and extract it. The one in the Paprika app works really well.

Okay but why then can they not just put that bullshit part AFTER the recipe?

Answer: because they’re brutally annoying people and I hate them with every fibre of my being.

They do it so visitors have to stay longer/see more of the page furthering google SEO

Almost every recipie page I see has a prominent 'jump to recipie' button right at the top of the page.

Most of them have a "jump to recipe" button at the top of the page.

Look into "jump to recipe," an option frequently included at the top of many recipe pages.

Also the longer they make the article the more places for ads. Most websites are cool about this and add a “jump to recipe” button, but many don’t so they can get more ad revenue.

Or just Ctrl+F "Print". Most pages have the link to print the recipe right above the actual recipe itself.
