Complains about scraping sound like folks want to get the benefits of free distribution on the internet (“traffic”, as SEO people say), but don’t want to pay the price (actually making your stuff public).

My hot take is that it’s easier to treat this as a binary decision: either put something on the internet and let people fetch it, or just leave it private - use Tailscale, an .htaccess file, or a Discord server.

But internet keeps growing, and in 2025 more and more people started (poorly) running web crawlers. Regrettably, this seems to be pushing the idea of “scraping” as something bad to spread to some tech communities that have traditionally been supportive of the open internet.
