Isn’t Google responsible for this? They rank results based on how long users stay on the page, plus how much they scroll. Forcing all those “when I was a girl in Sicily…” stories at the top of a recipe that nobody wants.

Source?

My understanding is Google wants pages to be different and have a lot of keywords.

If you have a generic recipe website with just the simple cooking instructions:

1. it's going to have less key words

2. it's not going to look different from hundreds of other websites like this
