You mean competitive intelligence? All companies do this, they scrape each other’s websites for pricing / photos / descriptions to figure out who is selling the same products and for how much, it gets used as a piece of data in pricing algorithms. You haven’t exposed some big conspiracy, welcome to modern e-commerce!

What are you talking about Walmart and Amazon never look at the competition that’s cheating.

I don’t think OP understands what they are claiming. Spiders don’t tell you about customers.

If that is the case, then it is really scary. There is really no guarantee for your personal data's security or privacy. I wanted to learn more about this too.

You know it's true 😅😂

What’s does this mean exactly

And this is somehow different than what's been going on since like 2010?

Usage of the term AI is a bridge too far.

I'm realy confused by this and the implication. If they are somehow illegally/unfairly gathering information, I think you're better off being a whistleblower and alerting authorities vs posting on Fishbowl? Unless it's not that deep and it's just more of a gross way to collect data? Am I missing something?

I used to do staffing. Involved cold calling And spamming clients and emails. People treated recruiters as middlemen, a noise and felt disrespectful.

But it’s not easy profession - to specialize and win in a niche.

I know it could be automated and give an experience to candidates and clients by making it ondemand, instant and specialization. I saw a Vision to turn this recruiting business into ondemand staffing companies like Airbnb - just publish talent and do the transaction.
