“Scraping is necessary to develop good models. It’s like building a highway – some houses must be demolished, but in the end everyone benefits,” the poster wrote in a thread titled “[AMA] I scraped all of Cara.”

Except they razed the entire countryside, including the hidden alcoves, to build this "highway" of theirs.

Plagiarism machines are not a highway.

Also, highways are and always will be extremely destructive. They kill (predomantly disadvantaged) neighborhoods, they pollute, divide and lead to "deserts".
