It’s because they are entirely manipulative, and usually have nothing to do with the actual recipe. The “context around the recipe” rarely is written by the person who put the work in to develop that recipe. It’s almost always content-farmed out or more recently, entirely generated by AI.

The only reason those blobs of text exist is to get you to look at more ads. Put more things in your head against your will, sell you more garbage, and manipulate your feelings.

If it wasn’t true, why are the recipes always at the bottom? Why not put the most valuable part right front and center? These websites have no respect for you and likely copy pasted the recipe anyways.
