It’s clearly not a copy and paste. I just visited that link on my phone and got blocked from viewing because I’m using an ad blocker.
10 years I gave up on a large project where I rehosted and organized dead Usenet forum content because Google's dupe-penalty detector was too good and too aggressive for content that you could barely find beyond a six-year-old cache hit where the origin website was long gone.
Meanwhile these Stack Overflow scrapers are just `<html>{copy-and-paste}</html>` and the same domains are still alive despite years of cloning.
Looks like it's time to boot my project back up.
