Um,... just because OP does that, doesn't mean it's necessary.

Here's an example of a long-form post, with embedded images: https://twitter.com/myles_cooks/status/1689022160780791812

More tweets (one per paragraph) drives more engagement.
Reminds me of those tedious recipe blogs that require so much scrolling, but even worse since there's no easy print on X.
The "tedious recipe blogs that require so much scrolling" usually first start with an emotional story about how the dish reminds the author of their childhood, which is included (presumably) to milk SEO and also annoy readers, followed by a recipe with maybe one photo.

This is a recipe with short (but not one-liners) yet helpful instructions, including images of how the cooking process would work.

Do you have an example of a better recipe post?

There was some guy here a year ago, who made a simple, easily searchable recipe site, but I don't know the link.

It was just recipes.

if you find it let me know
https://recipe-search.typesense.org/

It seems to pull from other sites, but just give the recipe. Don't click on the link, only the cooking instructions.

Only available for those paying. And since paying means you get a badge and thus grouped together with cryptobros and rightwing nutjobs and gave Musk money, few people pay for it even when they might have wanted to.
