If that's truly what you're doing, sure. If you can reduce a movie to its screenplay without losing value, that's probably what you should be doing. A recipe is a great complement to a cooking video, but reducing the value of a cooking video's value to the recipe is oversimplified.
I wish we'd go the other way, where free text content is complemented by paid-for audio or video commentary. But it has to be a very dull video for a bullet list to be a good replacement (and a bad bullet list to be able to capture what a good video production can convey).
- xg15 3y agoYeah no. There are probably amazing and insightful cooking videos out there, but the moment you intentionally withold the recipe unless people pay, you're using a disadvantage of the medium for rent-seeking.

There is a simple test to make here: is the complimentary recipe released to the viewer, so that they can read it conveniently and at their own pace? If the recipe is truly a complement to otherwise great cooking video, then releasing it is a no-brainer. If it's withheld, then one has to wonder why, and what the video publisher is afraid of.
- pixl97 3y agoA lot of this is actually caused by Google in benefiting observability of videos that are longer so they (google) can show more ads. You either get a 60 second short, or 10ish minutes. This leads content creators to stretch out their videos longer than they really should be.
