Thank the LLM craze for that. Nearly every admin of an open site I know has seen its site trampled to the ground by those harvesters. Primitive accumulation, Marx's original sin of simple robbery, "had eventually to be repeated, lest the motor of capital accumulation suddenly die down" (Hannah Arendt, as quoted by Shoshana Zuboff. Arendt, in turn attributes this idea to Rosa Luxemburg). This is why we can't have nice things. Cheers -- tomás
