Does anyone read the big long stories before getting to the recipe?

Hell to the no!
@Sugar ahh I’m sure some of them are but I’m not looking for a story, just a recipe 😅 I also think it’s the principle of feeling like I’m constantly being ‘sold’ to, I’m just trying to make dinner. Not to mention the cookies pop ups and 50 ads!
@Sorrel it's something anyone would do only if they got time , otherwise gimmie the damn recipe 🫴🏾
Actually, I wish they started with the recipe , and put that little story down there so I can always miss it
As someone who used to have to write out the blurbs for recipes, don’t worry about skipping it. The person who had to hit a word count and use certain keywords x amount of times probably don’t care if anyone reads it.
One of my biggest pet peeves ever. Like, just give me the recipe!!!!! They should put it first and then the story for people who want to read that crap
Sometimes an ad pops up and I click that by mistake and get annoyed cus I did not click the ‘jump to recipe’😂
@Elizabeth you mean it wasn’t really great grandma’s special recipe from the old country that you found in her treasured leather suitcase? I’m shocked 😱
Don’t feel guilty for skipping it, it’s just for SEO!
The story annoys me so much! I could not care less about your life story I just wanna know how long to roast my potatoes!
Hell no
Please STOP with the stories! I don’t care about your grandma! I just want the fucking recipe! (I’m sure she’s lovely I just get hangry.) 😂
When they literally tell you how to store leftovers and what options there are for substitutes. I haven't even seen the recipe yet to know if I want to make it 😖
Part of the reason for stories is to prevent copyright issues and to get individual views/clicks. There are JILLIONS of identical recipes (like how many different ways can you make vanilla frosting? Not that many) so to sufficiently differentiate them as “their own”, they have to stuff the page with personal crap. Also, hitting a high enough word count that you spend X time on the page or scroll through X amount of ads.

Sometimes! .... meaning when my meal doesn't turn out right. THEN I skim the Nanny story to see the much needed tips lol
I ALWAYS JUMPED , to the recipe, then one day I read the damn story, I had time. And it was such a good story , made me wonder how many stories I have been missing.So now, sometimes I read them .🥰
