In the grand scheme of things all of this is a wasteful process. Maybe you could direct your worklife towards other challenges that are more rewarding for society and equally profitable?

I think that's unjustified and a little rude. OP is providing an automated service for publicly accessible data that isn't accessible for automation. If the sources are notified and they are operating within the confines of the law, this is no different than writing a search engine crawler.

That crosses into personal attack. Please don't do that on Hacker News. We've had to ask you this before.

OP is being reasonably compensated for something that is perfectly legal.
