I believe it's more likely that it's to do with whether you can or can't copyright a listing of ingredients and method.
If you add enough of a story, you definitely can.
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoNo. As somebody who pays recipe creators and publishes recipes this is just wrong. The recipe is separate from the text that accompanies it
- logifail 5y ago> The recipe is separate from the text that accompanies it Separate in a copyright sense? A web scraping bot won't necessarily make that distinction.
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoYes in a copyright sense. Recipes are also separate in a technical sense too because for SEO purposes publishers use markup to help crawlers understand recipes.
- zffr 5y agoCould be wrong, but I thought it was so that you spend more time on their website and have a chance to see more ads
