I've been promoting this idea for a few years now, and I've seen an increasing number of people put it into action.

A fun way to track how people are using this is with the git-scraping topic on GitHub:

https://github.com/topics/git-scraping?o=desc&s=updated

That page orders repos tagged git-scraping by most-recently-updated, which shows which scrapers have run most recently.

As I write this, just in the last minute repos that updated include:

queensland-traffic-conditions: https://github.com/drzax/queensland-traffic-conditions

bbcrss: https://github.com/jasoncartwright/bbcrss

metrobus-timetrack-history: https://github.com/jackharrhy/metrobus-timetrack-history

bchydro-outages: https://github.com/outages/bchydro-outages
