Ever try to look up a recipe lately? The actual ingredients and instructions will be halfway inside 10 or more pages worth of fluff. That’s not in any way an exaggeration - most of them now have a “jump to recipe” link near the top so it’s feasible to find it on the webpage.

This is fucking awful. The entire internet is like this.
I needed a program to fix mp4 files which were not concluded by a camera (died during recording). The search results were filled with bullshit articles written by companies who just happen to sell data recovery software. Their software didnt even work.
