I hate these stupid AI pages with shitty recipes. the more I report and hide them, the more they show up. It is a losing game of whackamole.

I hate it even more that the strategy is to just be like "fuck it, just mash together the ten most popular recipes into one." It will get more hits because of the keywords flagging it as a holiday recipe post, then because people knew it's fake they will engage to say so, and boost it even more. God help us all.

I have long suspected that these pages tend to generate algorithm-driven, low-effort posts to gain followers and likes, with the ultimate goal of being sold, a sad trend I've noticed increasingly on meme pages on Instagram.

That's exactly what it is. My buddy bought one. It failed because he chose the biggest reach and not a page that aligned with his business when he switched the page overm

I don't know what he paid for it, but buying a low effort meme page did nothing for his house flipping/renovation business.
