I see what kinds of questions people have around the topic, and look for ways to anticipate their problems, and answer their questions, so that they will have a successful cooking experience. Lately, I’ve been adding more step-by-step pictures of how to make dishes, as well as videos, because Google says that readers want that."

That makes sense to me. More keywords related to search topics means more hits.

Give me a break.

I mean yes, most people do not care about your home life.

Do this after the recipe? Oh wait, that would mean I don't have to scroll past more advertisements... This is what everyone is complaining about. Getting to the actual recipe is quite annoying, especially on phones without ad blockers.

I didn’t mean to endorse the article itself, just the part about it probably being SEO-related as I remembered reading this before and just grabbed the first article I could find ;)

Of course of course, I was just having fun during some down time at work
