So we are caring about privacy but that polygon site is a massive scrapper

[–] admin@lemmy.my-box.dev 28 points 7 months ago

Any particular reason for this whataboutism that makes it stand out from the average website?

It's a massive scrapper?

Like it engages in scrappy flights? I guess that's one way to frame fighting with discord but I'd personally see them as fairly comparable weight classes.

Or did you mean scraper like vacuuming up data* off of everyone who visits?

Vacuuming up days?

Like it sucks time from your life, siphoning precious time out from your life without even realizing it? I guess that's one way to frame browsing Polygon but I'd personally view it as a pretty tame example compared to sites like YouTube or Lemmy.

Or did you mean data like the site is harvesting information off your service when you click the link?

Typo; vacuuming up data.

Ducking autocorrect

I was just poking a bit of fun, because there's a good chance it was an autocorrect typo for the original commenter too :p
