are scrapers attackers?

I get they're DDoS; but take the mask off, and arn't they just the AI monied interests that fund the FSF? and a lot of them are just active inference, eg, the user is trying to ask about something and the AI monied interests setup a web scraper to go and get that data.

Just seems like no one wants to call out the hand that feeds them in a human centipede that's best described as the torment nexus.

I'm not entirely sure how those companies are related to "AI-monied" after clicking on their websites.

The point is that it is presumed that you must've gotten the info somewhere in order to back up your claims. If not this outdated website, where then?
