The Internet was just fine before everything had to be monetised
Comment on I just want to view the recipe
RidcullyTheBrown@lemmy.world 8 months agoYeah, that’s fine, but at some point we need to start talking about alternative methods of monetization for websites. On the one hand, compiling a list of recipies on a website and maintaining that website is not easy or cheap and the owners should be able to make money out of it. On the other hand, the user should be able to pay for this comfortably and have a nice experience on the website.
This ad model doesn’t serve any of the two, business or consumer.

Sure, I agree.
Unfortunately, no such solution currently exists or has been widely adopted.

There are subscription recipe sites.
RidcullyTheBrown@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yes, but paid content is not the norm and the reason for that is that blatant advertising and shoving malaware down people’s throats on grandma’s recipe website is not only legal, it’s a predictable business model.
