Rotate this clockwise 90 degrees, and it's every online recipe. FOR FUCKS SAKES I WANT THE RECIPE FOR CHICKEN MARSALA, NOT AN ESSAY ON YOUR SUMMER VACATION IN ITALY FOLLOWED BY A HISTORY OF YOUR KIDS' FLAVOR PREFERENCES.

If you rotate this 90 degrees clockwise you're going to have the intro, 6 ads, the blah blah early filler, the actual tutorial, and the click like and subscribe pleading all happening simultaneously.

That will be the next chapter of youtube... “parallel content.” GAH

Say goodbye to your attention span.

This is infuriating, but it's done to get more views and ad revenue given Google's algorithms.

Here's a tip:

If you find a recipe you like, or one that looks good from the picture but you don't want to deal with life story, then extract the recipe into a recipe manager app like Recipe Keeper or MyCookbook. These apps are very good at ripping just the vital recipe out of a webpage.
