More often than not, I’ve seen web pages that are more easily scraped than one could connect to an official API. It’s so weird. It’s like in many cases companies don’t really care, so of course people are going to scrape your pages instead.
- gldrk 10mo agoAre you aware you are shadowbanned?
- thaumasiotes 10mo agoHe shouldn't be, since it isn't true. Why did you leave this comment?
- gldrk 10mo agoHow come 90% of his comments are dead then? This one was too until I vouched for it.
- thaumasiotes 10mo agoFair enough; I was going by the fact that his comment wasn't [dead] and was visible when not logged in.

- naian 10mo agoThat is how bans work here. You can log in and comment just fine, and it's not apparent to you, but your comments show as dead by default to everybody else, unless someone chooses to vouch for them.
- andrewmcwatters 10mo agoI am aware that I am banned. I appreciate you taking the time to check with me, though. And thank you for vouching my comment, too.
