I will go one step further: It doesn't matter whether they have the skills or not, because they don't care. As long as they can siphon up enough data to increase their revenue or stock price by 0.001¢, they're perfectly content to leave small independent websites shattered and unusable under the weight of their aggressive, unrelenting scraper bots. I'm firmly of the opinion that they should all be considered hostile, predatory companies, regardless of what supposed "value" they bring. Train your river-guzzling models with data that's paid for or given voluntarily and then we can talk about your "value".
