"They already do it, so we should just let them" and then getting mad at the people trying to stop them is kind of a psychotic take. Unchecked corporate power is how we got to this point and refusing to ever hold them accountable is not going to make it better. Genuinely, what NON MALICIOUS reason could there even be for a small company to need violate robots.txt, and how on earth would that give them any leg up over google?

And you come at ME with "abscence of any rational thought". Truly vile.

How in the world is people wanting giant tech companies to stop violating every single technological oriface for every bit of data they can get their hands on to feed to their AIs dissapointing?

I dont think whoever did the countdown knows what "on 3" means

You are probably not fun ever

Instead youll sit idle by as fascism takes over. You are no less responsible if you dont vote.

Any scenario trump stayed in the whitehouse would be worse than reality

"Is there a more victemless crime than hording something limited i dont even want for the express purpose of forcing the actual intended customer to buy mine for way more money so i can profit off their misfortune?" Is not a very good arguement to make.

Id say stop trying to justify your vile actions, but a single glance at your profile tells me you probably go out of your way to make the lives of others worse

Scalper are not serving consumer needs, they caused the need in the first place! Just because its techincally not illegal DOES NOT make it morally good, or good for society. Scalping is greedy regardless of if its for the government or to pad your own pockets

Your right, windows being brought up continually because they did something shitty every day is way better

Bikes are made from metal that is mined from the ground and the tires are rubber that is produced from potrolium. All of that is bad for the environment. Almost all shoes are also made from rubber, and leather that comes from cows that produce methane thats bad for the environment, so you better be walking everywhere either barefoot or in handmade wooden clogs.

If you really wanna play by those rules you are JUST as bad as the guy you replied to

Thats a good point, id never heard of microsoft before this post

You suggest they roll over and give up?
