I agree 100%, but it is a fact of life, and sometimes it's better to just minimize the fuzz and focus on the things that matter.
Your argument is perfectly valid and applies to offline activities as well (what stops a competitor from walking through the aisles of a Walmart or Costco?), but this is a battle that can't be won, there are too many parasitic actors. It is human nature.

- ushtaritk421 5y agoUnderstanding your competitor's pricing is not "parasitic", it's research. Every company I've ever worked for that sells something online scrapes their competitors in some way (whether with bots or with interns).
- TheCoelacanth 5y agoI would say it's the opposite of parasitic. It's essential to having a well-functioning free market.
