Allrecipes.com and Kochbar.de ratings and comments over time. The first 3 plots ((A), (D and (G)) in the column to the left represent the mean number of ratings and comments applied to the recipes (all categories) over time from the time on it was uploaded. In both platforms most activity is recorded on the day the recipe was published (day 0). The three plots in the middle ((B), (E) and (H)) and to the right ((C), (F) and (I)) present similar statistics calculated cumulatively. While the number of ratings and comments in Kochbar.de saturate, interaction with recipes in terms of ratings and comments constantly increases in Allrecipes.com. The diamond symbols in the violin plots to the right denote median values and overlap means which are denoted with black dots (only partly visible)
