I'm not. I knew a developer who, in his spare time, developed a clever scraper. He scraped the top stories and results from Google, then scraped similar content based on Google's own ranking, then submitted that content to his own aggregator sites (all resolving to the same server). He ran ads on it. He got plenty of traffic and was net <$500/month in 2006.

It's not that expensive to run a site and the right advertising partners (cough Taboola cough) pay nicely.
