>How is that "deserved"?

It may be deserved because that's what many people want rather than a plain vanilla list of ingredients and instructions.

I haven't met a single person that prefers the current state of things. Every time my friends and I search for a recipe we are constantly annoyed by having to scroll through a story that appears to be there simply for ad placement or SEO.

This is a common issue for more people than you may imagine. Having to scroll through stories and ads is beyond deplorable. My wife and I have gone back to books as they are timeless curated sources of information.

I have zero issue with finding a basic recipe if that's what I want. I prefer background and context.

I don't mind background and context, I just mind them being placed in a way that makes it difficult to locate and use the other information.

You prefer, but is it useful?
