It’s not that it should be hidden, it’s that someone is getting a lot of money from my posts and I get nothing.
Comment on The internet kind of sucks right now

Am I the only person who doesn’t care if people ‘scrape’ my ‘knowledge?’
That’s the whole point of putting something online. So anyone can look at it. I’m not about to get petty about who has access and who doesn’t.

Hasn’t that been the case since Yahoo?

Let’s say I scraped a guide you wrote about something you spent a lot of time researching, and then republished it as a Kindle eBook for $5 with my name listed as the author, whilst at the same time the site you posted it to went bust due to losing all its traffic to Google’s AI summaries. Would you consider it petty to object? After all, I’m increasing its audience for you.

I would. If you wanted to make money from it, you should have sold it as an eBook instead of posting it to some forum.

I limit my comments only to a certain elite clientele. If you see this, congrats, you made the cut!

No, you are not. I also give 0 fucks about intellectual property.
People with their modern conveniences have it so well, they just make shit up to be upset about.
