Is ArtStation a good place to post still or is it overrun by bots and scrapers?

if thats the case then why cant you scrape and index discord? I get info off of there that never ever shows up in search

>>1005409
it depends on if the domain (e.g discord.com, artstation.com) permits google to scrape or not via the settings they place in their robots.txt file. now, of course, someone who is not google could write a program that joins various discord servers and downloads all of the files posted there, but as of their API update quite some time ago, discord bots can only see files that users explicitly send to them via commands.

TLDR, discord has a restrictive API that is decent at blocking a good amount of scraping, other sites are either not smart enough to block scraping, or they believe it is in their best business interest to allow scraping
