WHY DO RECIPE WEBSITES DO THIS

because they're more like food magazines than cookbooks including the fact that they're filled with adds and filled with copy

have you ever read a food magazine?

>I was just baiting
Sure you were bud, but I'll bite. Ublock only works with firefox on mobile, which is a bit of a bummer since firefox started messing stuff around. Search ublock origin for it. If you download f-droid you can also get blokada from there, which blocks ads on pretty much all apps. Youtube is an exception unfortunately, but the ads aren't really bad a five or less seconds.

This too, but I haven't used Adaway so cant tell you how good it is.

wow it's like you don't even technology, bro

I'll admit, though, the current version of Firefox sucks doggy balls, and not in a good way. That's why I refuse to upgrade. A lot of sites break because of that, but I have a copy of a current release available if I'm absolutely forced to view some shitty website that requires current JS features.

Sooo.. basicaly like he said. Ad blocks on mobile arent perfect.

A vast majority have a “Skip to Recipe” button at the top, or lacking that, just hit “End” on your keyboard and scroll up.

As for why they do it, its generally so they can intersperse their stories with a plug for a sponsor or two, cross link to another recipe that would be complimentary to this one, etc. Its annoying but it gets the other middle aged housewives to keep clicking so it makes sense, from the standpoint of the owner. Plus Im sure some of them once they hit a certain level of fame have ghostwriters who type all that shit up, I dont expect Ree Drummond to type all that shit up once ever other day.

Because Jewgle's algo penalizes concise content not riddled with Jewgle ads. You cannot show up on searches unless you write a fucking blog.

Set up automatic double sided printing, all the bullshit comes out on the back and its hidden when you put it in sheet protectors.
