Edit: But also - why do AI scrapers request pages that show differences between versions of wiki pages (or perform other similarly complex requests)? What’s the point of that anyway?

Gonna take a shot in the dark here and guess that the people behind these AI scrapers are incredibly stupid, and think Scrape More = More Data = More Growth = More Good^TM. Given this bubble’s already given us the goddamn scourge that is “vibe coding”, and is headed by growth-obsessed fuckwits and True Believers^TM, chances are I’m completely correct on this.
