1) These people are not adding value by padding their recipes with self-absorbed prose. There will always be tools to strip away the superfluous ramblings, the bloggers should adapt to what people want, rather than lament the fact that no-one wants to hear about their faux-Proust recipe genesis stories.
With that out of the way, I’ve thought of the same website model as OP. I came to the conclusion that recipes would have to be contributed by users. It’s not right to scrape recipes from others blogs.
- xypage 4y agoIt sounds like the blogging portions are usually added for SEO purposes since a lot of those people use their blogs as their job so they need to optimize for clicks, I don't view that as an issue even if the quality is debatable. Regardless of their reasoning, the concern isn't that it won't be as good without the blogging content, it's that the recipes people will add here will inevitably include some from other sites just missing their extra stuff, which means it's drawing away traffic from their original work without them getting any credit/ad revenue for it.
