This is theft that gets around a copyright loophole. Don’t steal recipes.
Where is the limit ?
For me it's just a web browser optimized for recipe websites. It's basic scrapping. Google does it, why can't I do it ?
Are "reader mode" browser extensions theft ? Are ad blockers theft ?
Is using Lynx as a web browser theft ?
If your business depends on your content never being scraped, you are screwed.
What is the reason that every single recipe site, without fail, follows this same horrible pattern? I.e. the twenty paragraph "When I was a child growing up in Atlanta..." followed by a crappy in-house video player followed by, finally, the actual recipe? My assumption is SEO? For some reason, Google must really like having tons of text on your page, and dislikes simple "here's the recipe"? etc? Second question - any…
I also see similar WordPress themes appear on supposedly independent sites with individual authors. Similar down to the email sign-up popups. I get that some WP themes are more popular than the bazillion available, but the consistency in look and feel between a Malaysian immigrant to New York cooking curries I know aren't that Malaysian and a stay at home mom in Ohio doing baking that may have been passed down by a g…

The edit wars would be horrible. Everyone has their own recipe for any given food item, plus endless variations.
Make it a namespaced wiki. Every user can only create and edit recipes in their own namespace, or the namespace of groups they’re a member of (like GitHub treats repos for example). Then you could, as user, follow users you like. Each recipe would be in structured format, but could also have rich text introductions / explanations, if users wish to add such information. You could even let users add custom styling to t…

I’ve got to be honest: those stories hold no value to me. That’s the truth. I don’t know why the WaPo wants those us who are like me to pretend otherwise.
It's weird how you go from "to me" to "wants us." Surely you can imagine that people might be interested in history and stories around food. I personally don't give a shit about mathematicians and scientists personal lives, but I don't have a problem imagining those who do. I think the numbers say it all. Others think that the examination of every detail of the person who wrote the numbers first might give them some…
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if you polled recipe searchers, the vast majority (>66%) would say that they don't want the story. In fact, I'll back that. If you're in San Francisco, I will bet $1000 against your $1000 that this will be the case and we can equally bear the price of running this. An associate will contact you if you're up for it.
Someone tried this a while back and it didn't go so well: https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2021/03/02/recipeasly-fo...
The site is back up, although it now seems to contain exclusively "free" recipes (i.e. coming from CC sites and old books). IMHO there are ways to make recipe-scraping resistant to copyright claims. 1. hide all scraping actions behind a login page; that makes content private, hence uninfringing. 2. every time a user "publishes" or shares content, present only an extract of the recipe, like the ingredients and first f…
let me know how this goes for private torrent tracker sites
My problem with recipes are - how do I know they are good? What is the quality control? Perhaps someone just grabbed a computer and wrote a bunch of steps down.

I don't usually search for recipes, but I got these just to test: "pizza pocket recipe" 2nd result is decent: https://foodnetwork.co.uk/recipes/pizza-pockets/ "lasagne recipe easy" 1st result is good: https://www.spendwithpennies.com/easy-homemade-lasagna/ "sushi recipe chicken" 1st result is to the point https://www.tegel.co.nz/recipes/teriyaki-chicken-sushi/ Note that I have adblocker so I don't know how many ads y…
I wonder if it has to do with the type of food. “Hummus recipe” gets you the entire history of chickpeas: https://www.inspiredtaste.net/15938/easy-and-smooth-hummus-r...
