If we're allowed to - and happily do - copy over content from for-profit websites with bots, it feels a bit weird to then get angry about that happening in reverse, no?

Plus, oh no, interoperability. We get to just interact with people instead of everyone sitting in their respective walled gardens.

Not at all. It's a matter of asynchronous power play.

We can do the former as a fight against power, but we have to fight for it. When they do it to us, it's "just business" and we have no defense.
