Was bought out by dotdash a few years ago. Been on a steady decline ever since. The old content is still there, so it still works as a reference, but the new stuff is not of the same quality
It doesn’t seem like anything happened with them, they’re just published by a company that also spams seemingly hollow search results for reviews. Reviews it seems like they may not have meaningfully conducted. But serious eats isn’t actually implicated in anything other than being published by them as best I can tell. Dotdash Meredith also seems to publish a bunch of other food/recipe sites too.
In case anyone wants to add Dotdash Meredith to their blocklists:
Serious eats 😢 RIP
What happened to serious eats?

Be cool if we had a browser extension that automatically told Google to filter out results from these sites specifically
ublacklist is a must-have extension for blocking whole lists of sites from search results.
Thanks!
Aw maannnn not the spruce…
