I’ve assumed it was to create a longer page which can hold more ads.

Recipes by themselves aren’t copyrightable. Bullshit stories are.

No, but it stops straight scraping, and requires a scraper to do a little bit more work to copy the recipe.

I think the question is “is it possible to split recipe from BS story programmatically”
