      Look up "voice of god weapon" on duck duck go.
      There's also a lot of stuff out there claiming army intelligence developed a means of activating the inner ear with microwave radiation and inducing a specific auditory response after soldiers working on radar equipment reported hearing inexplicable clicking sounds under certain circumstances.
      There is also a declassified "doctrinal warfare program" where religious bodies are infiltrated and doctrines are weaponized to coincide with their full-spectrum manipulation of events. Certain churches as of late will tell you that the phenomenon of hearing voices is because the victim is being attacked by fallen angels, where if all the preceding were true, would operate as a very effective cover story, due to all the rhetorical schemes concocted around the issue and the implications certain interests appear to want to meme into the minds of the population.

    When people say they need ads to keep their website online, they are either grossly incompetent at development or at picking appropriate hosting (or both. WordPress sites with 100 plug-ins on AWS is not a rare sight). I develop the backend services for a Linux based shared hosting platform. I've seen what people put on our VMs. It's not pretty.

    Many probably see this as obvious but I think that the online recipe ecosystem has evolved around the goal of maximising ad revenue. As a result, I think it's mostly intentional that the stories and bloat are exceedingly long as you have to scroll through the text to get to the desired piece of information. This then leads the viewer to scroll past many ad slots which trigger those ad slots responding with ads and ad metrics. Scrolling past an ad would constitute an impression. That's important as an impression is a potentially payable item. Knowing that I think it's up to the individual to decide wether these stories and article are genuine additions or revenue maximizers.

    Thank you for this message to the world. I develop all my blogs under a zero-ads mantra (I believe if I ever become a big-deal web producer, I'll figure out how to do it with single-line text links). I feel exactly what you are talking about - that the commercial web has killed the actual web. What I want to see personally is people taking this sort of messaging to heart and returning to the web with blogs and websites fashioned sans-ads, and then begin interlinking as we all once did outside social media. The effect would be a sort of "new web" which of course would be more like a "reborn web". If someone visited your recipe website blog/page, they would find links to other websites (recipe or not) that were developed and presented under the same philosophy. When the number of people participating in this became large enough, say, in the thousands to tens of thousands, or dare I dream, hundreds of thousands, people would learn to trust the power and the significance of having and landing on web pages again. But if they didn't fine, much like Linux users, we'd have our own, more efficient world to operate in. It's disgraceful that in 2021 we have to talk about such a design methodology that is really the premiere one at the outset. It's outrageous. As an aside, I attempted to "start a movement" with "MumbleCoreHTML" ( www.dwghosting.com/mumblecorehtml/ ) but it languished away in disinterest. I eventually let the domain I bought to represent it expire though that URL is still the home. May your war room thrive and if you get any traction I'm onboard to help! Unless we have to BE the traction, I'm on board by default.

    I think the reason soydevs complain about the economics of hosting a basic website is because when you're a soydev and you use gigabytes of nodejs bullshit and other bloat you need to pay a lot more for a server that can handle that level of abuse. Meanwhile people like me Luke, and many others are hosting a website, peertube, email server and more on a dirt cheap VPS. My site literally runs on like less than 700mb of ram with a single core cpu and 10gb disk. I'm thinking about upgrading since I installed peertube, but if I was just hosting a basic website on it I could probably use the server I have now forever. All a webserver needs to do for a basic site is send you html, css, images, and js files when you ask for them, unless you have hundreds of thousands of concurrent visitors, pretty much any computer you can find can do the job.

    It's not just website hosting costs to consider. To maintain and keep adding new recipes to a site takes hours per week. Not many people are motivated to come home from a 40+ hour a week job and spend their spare time thanklessly sharing recipes. Maybe once we have UBI people will have time to freely contribute to society with no economic incentive. Also without the keyword-stuffing blog section, you just can't compete in search engines. How will your website that says the word "chicken parmesan" one time compete with a 3,500-word page that says it 30 times?

    In Germany the probably most popular recipe site (chefkoch.de) is actually something like that. It's still bloated with ads and JS, but the recipes are uploaded by users and there are no life stories. They also have a table at the top of the website with the ingredients, so it doesn't take ages to find those either.
