He's got a point though front end development is in a completly ridiculous state right now
Trowter··on Why are online recipes so long-winded?
People on this forum will not like this opinion but I think TikTok is the superior recipe platform.

If you already know the basics on how to cook it's great. Quick fire ingredients and methods with visuals to back it up, I can absorb an entire recipe in less than 30 seconds.

I have an account dedicated to recipes and they algorithm is pretty good and will pretty much only ever show me recipes or similar nutrition based stuff.

Trowter··on TheirTube – How do the recommended videos look on their Youtube home page?
well, obviously Youtube isn't going to read your mind and figure out you're a climate denier. It's going to recommend your videos based on previous viewing, this is a preview of what people who view these types of videos will see.

I would have thought anyone on this site could discern that but you're self-proclaimed climate denier so I guess you did your best :)

Trowter··on Unless You’re Oprah, ‘Be Yourself’ Is Terrible Advice
Opinion pieces like this always strike me as more about their individual definition of the phrase.

To me "Be Yourself" doesn't meant to blurt out everything in your head it means don't try to be something you're not.

In my experience people can subconsciously pick up on authenticity and if you're trying to be something you're not you're just going to fall flat on your face.

To put it simply to be yourself is to always strive for genuine connections and goals which truly interest and excite you, in work, love or whatever
