There’s a very effective way out, don’t your data on the public web.

[decided to delete because I misunderstood the context]

Let's not conflate a) a person's personal data, and b) a business's dataset. The GP and the article are clearly referring to the latter. Preventing web scraping won't protect users from businesses collecting their data.

Instagram is not the content creator tho

What I'm trying to say is: For every popular content creator on IG, there are tens and hundreds of (more or less automatic) content curators that do nothing more than scrape content with lots of likes, and re-post on their own channels. Then when they get sufficient followers, they make money through paid product placements, account flipping, pay-to-play sharing, and what not. More often than not, there's no linking to the original pages / creators.
