Maybe you could provide that service for a small fee. https://github.com/runvnc/hncomments

Any OF models would be met with HN users over-explaining their own economics to them and how it's a terrible business that'll never work. These models will also learn they don't even have a moat to differentiate themselves from other offerings and should keep their development jobs. :)
I don't think people discovering these profiles on HN is the concern here.

I am wondering why we don't see more OF models using custom domains instead. $10/yr shouldn't be too big of a price for them. Perhaps those About You page services don't support that?

Using the algolia api https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=author_ilaksh,comm... You'll need to paginate it, as it's limited to 50 results per page, like so: https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=author_ilaksh,comment&hitsPerPage=50&page=1

There are already numerous third party sites that crawl HN and use its API. Your comments here are public, no one needs your permission to use them.

It says here I grant Y combinator (and its affiliated companies; hm...) a licence, not that I grant it to some rando with a scrapper (or using an API). Anyone that's not Y combinator (and its affiliated companies; hm....) that's using my content posted here is doing so without any licence to do so from me, potentially violating my copyright rights.
