I use an app called Recipe Keeper. It’s amazing because I just share the page to the app, it extracts the recipe without any nonsense, and now I have a copy for later if I want to reuse it. I literally never bother scrolling recipe pages because of how terrible they all are, and I decide in the app if the recipe is one I want to keep.
It also bypasses paywalls and registration requirements for many sites because the recipe data is still on the page for crawlers even if it’s not rendered for a normal visitor.
Yeah, that’s fine, but at some point we need to start talking about alternative methods of monetization for websites. On the one hand, compiling a list of recipies on a website and maintaining that website is not easy or cheap and the owners should be able to make money out of it. On the other hand, the user should be able to pay for this comfortably and have a nice experience on the website.
This ad model doesn’t serve any of the two, business or consumer.
Yes, but paid content is not the norm and the reason for that is that blatant advertising and shoving malaware down people’s throats on grandma’s recipe website is not only legal, it’s a predictable business model.

The Internet was just fine before everything had to be monetised
There are subscription recipe sites.

You’re suggesting subscriptions… On Lemmy…? Good luck lol.
