"Based" is a slang word that means the opposite of "cringe", which is the feeling you experience when you go to a recipe site and get treated to 500 words about how much the author loves winter.
Worth throwing out there that 'based' is a new-ish word and means different things to different people. As I have been discussing in this thread, my understanding of the definition of 'based' is something equal to cringe, or 'unpleasant', and sometimes 'racist'.

Also discussed in this thread, but it is far from agreed-upon that those extra words are 'cringe'; at least some people here seem to enjoy that content.
And regardless, the existence of that content is an interesting discussion; is it a legal concern, or a result of capitalism and algorithms and SEO? Or something else entirely?
