Can we talk about how every air fryer recipe online uses the exact same seasoning blend?

I stopped at a diner in Pittsburgh last month that had air fried wings with a house rub that actually tasted different and it made me realize most of these recipe blogs are just copying each other's garlic powder and paprika mix. Has anyone found a recipe site that actually experiments with flavors instead of doing the same old thing?

50% of my air fryer "experiments" taste like I just grabbed whatever was within arm's reach in my spice rack and hoped for the best. Last Tuesday I tossed some chicken thighs in cinnamon and cayenne by accident and it actually wasn't terrible. But yeah, the paprika-garlic-salt trifecta is basically the air fryer version of the same three chords in pop music. I blame those food bloggers who just type "generous sprinkle" and call it a day. My soul left my body the last time I saw a recipe that said "add your favorite seasoning" like that's helpful to anyone.

feel you @paul251, the "generous sprinkle" instruction is basically a cooking crime
