Scraping Is Mainstream

It’s old news at this point, but I’m surprised how many scraping libraries I’ve seen in recent newsletters: “Effortless web scraping as it should be!”

We used to shun scraping. Now it’s expected.

“It’s public information, Tanner. It’s on the Internet! Besides, bots and search engines have been scraping forever.”

Sure, but something’s different now. AI made scraping mainstream.
