The State of Web Scraping 2022
I fail to understand why Web Scraping isn't almost universally viewed as unethical and a terrible and nasty business practice.<p>In almost all cases I view Web scraping as people who are trying to build businesses on top of other people's innovation and data.  I know this isn't a popular opinion, so change my mind, but at the same time, I'm one of those business owners that fights with Web scraping constantly and my opinion of it is that those that are doing it to my platforms are doing so solely to steal data and build businesses on top of other's hard work.
