I don't care what tools you use.

  • I don't care what tools you use. Whether your use is ethical or not is not my business, it's yours, and it is your conscience you'll have to clear. I used to be a gatekeeping elitist prick who judged people who used software I disliked. I try not to be one anymore.

    But - and this is a very, very big but - if the tools you use only exist because they're scraping and DDoSing the entire internet, and the cost of their existence is externalized to me, and everyone else running a website?

    Then I will care, and I will call you out on your bullshit if you try to present yourself as an ally, while making excuses for the damage these things cause.

    This is not about ethics. This is not about copyright, or rights in general. This is about externalizing costs to people who do not deserve this level of abuse, and then denying their complaints.
