Seems like many of these "AI companies" wouldn't need another funding round if they would do scraping ... (ironically) more intelligently.

Really, this behaviour should be a big embarrassment for any company whose main business model is selling "intelligence" as an outside product.

Many of these companies are just desperate for any content in a frantic search to stay solvent until the next funding round.

Is any on them even close to profitable?
