"grrrr, I sure hate how the people providing free recipes for me make me scroll twice to view the recipe"
Super gross framing, especially when you're yanking the content those other people actually created to siphon off their traffic.

Given the choice between a recipe site that has a thousand words about someone's grandmother or a recipe site that divides the ingredients by two, I'll choose the latter.
A lot of "secret" family recipes usually have their origin in something like this.
Incredibly unhelpful and hostile way to start your argument, especially because you chose to put words in the author's mouth as well. Why even respond if all you have are emotional appeals to make people feel bad about their hard work providing something folks clearly want?
Most of those recipe sites, no-one involved in the site has ever cooked the recipe, despite what the ghost-written made-up story about it would lead you to believe. That's why so many have obvious mistakes in them.
I didn't get the impression they were directly scraping other sites.
Also, it is very unlikely the recipe originated from those posters. I would guess those people learned the recipe from friends/family/cookbook/website, made some small modifications, then re-posted it in blog format.
I find searching for recipes online to be difficult for the same reasons they mentioned and I appreciate the attempt at another solution. Hope this one catches on.
Thanks for the feedback!
I know two wrongs don't make a right, but neither does one so by taking again the amount of rights in the world has not decreased.
