This is outright content theft. Google isn’t even hiding it anymore. They are displaying recipes AND comments ON SEARCH. I hope every engineer and exec involved chokes on their next free Google-provided meal while the rest of the open web struggles to put food on the table. Via @rustybrick

@thatkatieberry If you don't want them to steal it just noindex your content.
This is a fight recipe bloggers have waged against Pinterest for years - to never display the full recipe & to have full control of what is displayed on their third party service. This is also the type of theft - specifically, duplicating the instructions and/or photo - that recipe bloggers have been filing DMCA's for for years, and Google honored those. Because this was understood to be a clear violation of copyright under DMcA. It's Q4 - this is when I need to make the majority of my income for the year. How do I file a DMCA against Google search results to save my business? @searchliaison @TheJusticeDept @FTC
@thatkatieberry Recipes are unprotectable by copyright. In public domain
@thatkatieberry I'm 100% for this. Now I never have to accidentally view any streamer or influencers page ever again.
I don't remember who said this, to give credit, but: Google fooled so many content creators into building their SEO-friendly websites, only to provide a better "scraping" experience for Google bots, so they can show your data without sending visitor to your website. Alphabet cares about retaining its users, not content creators, because, where else you gonna go? They own YouTube too. The second biggest search engine.
@thatkatieberry I imagine the average recipe seeker will like this, I can understand why site owners do not.
@thatkatieberry And Google is killing the golden goose, as it were. If humans no longer get compensation to produce content, they won't produce content anymore. How will Google train it's AI then? Search results will devolve into a mess of regurgitated AI content.
@thatkatieberry I can get the recipe now without the author’s meandering narcissistic soliloquy that goes on for 40 pages to throw more ads in my face? Rare Google win
@thatkatieberry @Mrwhosetheboss just touched on this his latest video as well youtu.be/uSGVk2KVokQ
@thatkatieberry huh, why? This happens with content since years. Why are recipes any different? Only way we will get out of it will be a decentralized search engine. It's coming.
@thatkatieberry Mr. Google where are my clicks?
@thatkatieberry First they came for the pesto....
@thatkatieberry It's ok, there will be no Google in a couple years anyways, when you got almost every country around the world taking them to court for something, the investors are going to sell out eventually and that will be the end of google's dominance in search.
@thatkatieberry First they steal our content and as a reward they kick our websites out of the SERPS. But to look good in public, they organize a Creator Summit.
@thatkatieberry @AndyBeard So sick of their crap. Sooooo sick of it.
@thatkatieberry If they do it is for users, if you do it you are a useless spam site. It's really shit
@thatkatieberry They should only do this with adsense customer content, make you opt in and pay you when they display your content. This is the only fair way to manage this.
@thatkatieberry They are thieves. This doesn't have anything to do with training their AI. It is clearly an attempt to monetize someone elses work. This is NOT fair use.
@thatkatieberry That menu thing is done. Perhaps itineraries are next
