So why not put the recipe first, and the bullshit after?

Search engines favor text earlier in the site. Text "above the fold" (the area where you wouldn't have to scroll to see it) is scored higher.

Ahh, that explains it then. Cheers!

That actually sucks. Googles SEO algorithms force websites to homogenize.

Because that's what computers used to be for. Now we drive engagement.

But OP stated that, the text only being there to manipulate SEO, the authors don't really care of you read it. So out it at thd bottom, after the recipe!

Yeah, I think I live in a dreamworld like in the old show Computer Chronicles when computers were presented by scientists and used by engineers to do actual work. It was easy (for me) to grasp.

Now we have every sector of human activity, including those I consider at best useless, at worst harmful, like endless advertising, merchandising, propagandizing, misinforming, etc boosted exponentially because of essentially free computer power.

Not building a leisure society and using our tools for good, instead we just amplify the worst aspects of humanity.
