Of course there's an enterprise plan for the Feds and AI trainers

Internet-scraping outfit Spy.pet claims to have harvested more than four billion public messages made by nearly 620 million users on more than 14,000 Discord chat servers – and is selling access to this trove.

The website presents the data it’s collected in several ways. Each known user has a profile, which contains all known aliases, pronouns, connected accounts to other platforms such as Steam and GitHub, Discord servers joined, and public messages. If you wanted to quite literally spy on a Discord user or users, Spy.pet lets you do that, for a fee.

    Two assumptions are made by a typical user: discord is somewhat trustworthy, the data is only controlled by discord. These are both incorrect but it is understandable why they make such an assumption about a large platform like discord. Without the knowledge of how things are scrapped, one might not think it is even possible.
