I used to work for a very large financial institution. Scraping from finance apps was a material source of load even with substantial countermeasures in place. I can’t imagine what it does to sites like Twitter and Reddit (and HN).

HN has an open API look at the footer

HN volume is absolutely tiny (the ids are sequential so you can easily check how many items there are in a given day) and there’s an API. It’s no comparison.
