On the other hand, people do not mind giving things for free. Those recipes are not published by some chef that gets paid for creating them. It's the community that created them. If people could easily self-host ad-free catalog of their recipes with a global catalog for a cost of internet service they already have, they probably would. But the emphasis is on ease of use and discoverability.

Very few residential customers have static IPs which is a prerequisite to hosting anything.

And to be fair to ISPs a static IP does cost money to provide.

That is what I meant - if only self hosting would be easy a d required no additional services. Unfortunately it isn't.
