AI can scrape books and journals for info, but can't scrape Reddit?

Reddit can be scraped just as much as online books and journals.

So what's the point of this?

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Other sites, eg with books and journals, are doing the same thing. They hope that they can extract more money by reducing the availability of their content.
