Prediction: AI companies / start up will use AI itself to almost seamlessly adapt their scrapers to any breaking layout/html changes.
And there's nothing Twitter or Reddit can do about it... unless they want to serve their site in webassembly 😂

This is a mobile click farm, you can bet that AI companies would find a way to scrape via OCR if they need to. Even if it means having to set up rooms with hundreds of monitors and physical optic screen readers.

I have no idea. Probably clicking on something to give it more views.
