      lol yes, it’s also a 17 year old kid from India, as stated there, so while I can’t blame the kid for faults in his infra, I can blame him for thinking that scraping people’s work and putting it online without their permission and a monetization vector was a bad idea. That being said, it seems like he did the right thing, apologized, took it down, and I hope he carries the lesson forward to consider the human impact in what he does going forward

        I bet he’s gonna get an offer from some scummy company like Byju soon.

        Good on him for taking it down. Good lesson learned. Hope it didn’t drown him in debt!
