Serious eats 😢 RIP

[-] maniajack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What happened to serious eats?

[-] anytimesoon@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Was bought out by dotdash a few years ago. Been on a steady decline ever since. The old content is still there, so it still works as a reference, but the new stuff is not of the same quality

It doesn't seem like anything happened with them, they're just published by a company that also spams seemingly hollow search results for reviews. Reviews it seems like they may not have meaningfully conducted. But serious eats isn't actually implicated in anything other than being published by them as best I can tell. Dotdash Meredith also seems to publish a bunch of other food/recipe sites too.

Be cool if we had a browser extension that automatically told Google to filter out results from these sites specifically

ublacklist is a must-have extension for blocking whole lists of sites from search results.
