Lmao right?
I can’t believe the Hamburgler ate my hamburger!
I am a time-traveling dolphin. An entity made of giant balls gave me the ability to breathe underwater, but this ability was recently stolen from me by aliens.
Sometimes I turn into a bird.

Some people do meth.
You’re only seeing the people who don’t give a single fuck. This won’t affect them, this will affect anonymous posters and people who aren’t even “posting” but are using online communication to talk to other people directly (chat rooms, direct messaging)
mapping users and their contacts
Don’t need to use meta products for them to stalk you. Just need to be close enough to someone who refuses to avoid them.
Nothing like picking up all the slack because the guy who usually watches TV on shift is once again watching TV, this time with the boss.
Meta absolutely does not respect robots.txt. they are scraping what I have at around 200 hits / minute.
I also notice there is some data center somewhere (or multiple) proxying all its requests through residential proxies so I can’t tell who is scraping. They don’t scrape like Meta though. Far slower. These are the stealthy bois using spoofed user agents you mention. Can’t tell who they are, though. How do they get so many residential IPs?
I have no organic traffic (I am literally just running a crawler tarpit. My page has nothing) so its really obvious that Im watching AI scrappers. My tarpit generates random links that all resolve to the same place so its super obvious its not human. Its also super obvious when two distinct IPs follow the same random word salad link milliseconds apart.
I have helped organize a workplace and I cant think of a way AI could have aided us. My fellow organizers would occasionally ask it advice or questions about labor law.
The first use case didn’t produce anything overly helpful, but maybe it helped soothe their nerves. The second use case… We’re not lawyers and the devil is in the details. Fortunately we had help from the organization we joined. They were extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
