    As someone who uses invidious daily I’ve always been of the belief if you don’t want something scraped, then maybe don’t upload it to a public web page/server.

      There’s probably not many people here who understand the connection between Invidious and scraping.

      Imagine a company that sells a lot of products online. Now imagine a scraping bot coming at peak sales hours and looking at each product list and page separately for said service. Now realise that some genuine users will have a worse buying experience because of that.

        Yeah there’s way easier ways to combat that without trying to prevent scraping.

        Maybe don’t ship 20 units to the same address.
