I hate online recipes for this reason.

They're all prefaced with some bullshit

    Tutorials are videos because Youtube makes people a lot more money than a text website.

    Online recipes have an entire fucking story glued on because without the story, the instructions aren't copyrightable.

    It's profit motive all the way down.
