Me looking up a recipe on my phone because I'm in the kitchen doin' some cookin'.
The tiny screen is filled with ads but I persevere.
The recipe scattered inside a 10,000 word personal essay that I immediately scroll past.
I get about 1/4 of the recipe before the page "reloads" the ads, which reloads the whole page, which starts me at the top of the page.
I just make some toast....
Same shit happens on about 75% of the video game FAQ websites that aren't GameFAQS.
That is exactly why they do it, so you have to look at more ads
Shit, doing that would make it more like a scientific method. I'm all for it, makes it easier to read
The recipe is an also mostly a grating essay filled with aspirational shit. Need to find some cheap cook books.
OH, I have a PILE of cookbooks.
But the one thing I've noticed about those cook books is that its not always easy to find what I'm looking for.
And now I'm wondering how many of those same cook books might be scanned and uploaded somewhere.
