what kinds of things do you doo with bots and scrapers, if you can disclose? I'm interested in scraping too and was curious what are some applications people pursue nowadays. It looks like a lot of the earlier ideas are so crowded now, like price monitoring, etc.

A lot of it was for the endgoal of lead generation, so any place where a lot of names, phone numbers, email addresses etc were accessible. I also got into the habit of reverse engineering mobile apps, because those would typically touch endpoints which weren't monitored for rate limiting and had more interesting information. It was typical for a company to monitor its competitors.
