Likely candidates are Microformats, and RDFa.

we could literally block anyone who tweets that phrase "Likely candidates are Microformats, and RDFa." — it's copying from a very old tweet
#

someone with a twitter account: please respond to this tweet with "i would wear this on a t-shirt" 😂

↩️ For real though, if people use micro formats when they’re building the website, it would definitely be possible. https://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2#h-recipe

did we capture the last time recipe publisher / reader drama happened?

It has happened before?

Nietzschean eternal recurrence
#
[tantek]
of all the special kinds of content posted and interspersed with ads, why do recipes in particular attract this drama?
#
aaronpk
probably because when people are reading it they are trying to solve a very immediate problem
#
aaronpk
actually you see this on youtube videos when the video is a "how to do X" tutorial too, if the video starts out with a random story or a lot of fluff, people in the comments get angry
#
aaronpk
interestingly, in both cases it's not the ads that are the problem, it's the first person content from the author that triggers that response. people are more willing to just skip and ignore the ads and accept it as a necessary evil
#
[tantek]
it's almost like such content is an example of the Kanye UI antipattern

I'ma let you finish but Beyonce had the best content of all time?

[tw2113_Slack_]
there’s a ring around here somewhere

gRegor has the basic gist of it, it's the UI antipattern of an app interrupting you with any kind of prompt that has nothing to do with what you are trying to do, and serves what the app (service) wants, not what you want

not sure there is really a "last time", people complaining about it is pretty much a constant ...
#

although some tools to remove the "cruft" had it escalate I guess (e.g. https://www.eater.com/22307633/why-are-people-mad-at-recipeasly-recipe-blog-criticism )
