Having been on the other side of this, I’d rather we encourage people to make use of formats/interfaces designed for machines and use the right tool for the job instead of scraping everything. It’s incredibly easy for careless scrapers to disrupt a site and cost real money without having a clue what they’re doing. I want people to think twice and consider what they are doing before they scrape a site.
