alt Hacker Newsare scrapers attackers?
I get they're DDoS; but take the mask off, and arn't they just the AI monied interests that fund the FSF? and a lot of them are just active inference, eg, the user is trying to ask about something and the AI monied interests setup a web scraper to go and get that data.
Just seems like no one wants to call out the hand that feeds them in a human centipede that's best described as the torment nexus.

instead of scraping then, they could pay the fsf for a dump of the site or some API access or something, right? why overload the servers normally.

Can you elaborate on who these interests are precisely?

Anything which fills my logs with garbage is unwanted. Your cat could have fallen asleep on the keyboard, I don't care. If you want to use the internet as a giant petri dish, that's on you; but the cat box is elsewhere. I can feed you garbage or block you because your code is shit, or I don't like your style.
