You have LinkedIn and Twitter examples, where you're very likely violating their TOS as they prohibit any scraping.

I also assume you don't check the robots.txt of websites?

I'm all for automating tedious work, but with all this (mostly AI-related) scraping, things are getting out of hand and creating a lot of headaches for developers maintaining heavily scraped sites.
