That's a good idea! What if we repeatedly scraped their site and then display it to some of the users on our site. Then, we could charge them some small fee to click on the link.
We could sell them some of the data around who clicked on the link, and even charge their users after we segment them. We would probably have to crawl the site a lot of times and then display their content, but essentially we would own it.
Someone should try this. If it worked out, maybe you could expand to buzzfeed, techcrunch and then literally all of the sites on the internet.
Why didn't anyone think of this? You would just be able to charge websites (and their users) for providing you content!
edit: After thinking about it, it would probably be hard to do this. We could maybe create a standard and then show sites based on how well people listen to that, and then for the rest just see what are users look for and pick.
