I’m surprised the first result today for “how to cut a pineapple” isn’t an SEO optimized recipe with a wall of nonsense to scroll past before the actual instructions

How much tuning did Google need to do for that?

I'll always remember waking up in the morning to the sound of my grandmother cutting pineapples...
No need. Back in the days, as you can see in the video, you just needed a couple of sentences and a few images.

Interesting to see the big adsense block present on the page and the example being an exact match domain, which is clearly an MFA (Made for Adsense) website.

Coincidentally, You Suck at Cooking put out a video on cutting pineapple couple weeks ago.
