    I wonder what was the point of scraping self-aggrandizing AI-written slop in the first place?

      Linkedin data is very valuable. Tons of businesses are built on the back of scraping LinkedIn. Kknd of disappointing they won this case tbh, because it basically just gave corpos extereme privledge to ruin people's lives. They've been trying to get this outcome for years.
