      It’s a massive scrapper?

      Like it engages in scrappy flights? I guess that’s one way to frame fighting with discord but I’d personally see them as fairly comparable weight classes.

      Or did you mean scraper like vacuuming up data* off of everyone who visits?

        Vacuuming up days?

        Like it sucks time from your life, siphoning precious time out from your life without even realizing it? I guess that’s one way to frame browsing Polygon but I’d personally view it as a pretty tame example compared to sites like YouTube or Lemmy.

        Or did you mean data like the site is harvesting information off your service when you click the link?
