Every time a new tool launches there's a good window where it can act as a scraping proxy. Back in the 2010s I used Google Translate for years to scrape hard targets like LinkedIn but these windows are much shorter these days as scraping is so much bigger.
One thing with Muse though is that you can scrape Meta's own sites which are currently all going under login walls and restricting discovery/search entirely.
similarly, gemini via google ai studio will happily run workloads over youtube that would be very annoying to run at scale. Especially if you needed to download the video.

Muse's utility has significantly dropped with the blockages.
To become truly useful again they will need to use residential proxies, but I can't see them use those due to the risks and reputational damage.
