Creating Frankie’s Fork has been a learning experience in balancing personal recommendations with credibility. James Bridle’s Something is Wrong on the Internet made me think about content integrity, especially in food blogging, where search engine optimization (SEO) and AI-generated reviews can overshadow authenticity. Bridle explains how digital platforms promote low-quality content, which made me more intentional about my approach. I ensure transparency by clearly stating when recommendations are based on firsthand visits. Instead of overhyping places, I focus on what truly makes them stand out. I’m also mindful of how social media shapes food trends, often prioritizing what would be trendy over substance. This process has reinforced the need for digital literacy in content creation. Many blogs optimize for SEO, focusing on numbers rather than reliability, making it harder for readers to find honest recommendations. Bridle’s insights remind me that as bloggers, we have a role in fostering thoughtful, honest content rather than just chasing engagement. With Frankie’s Fork, I want to create a more reliable and genuine food blog in a crowded digital space by prioritizing authenticity and personal experience over algorithms and trends.
