@SuricrasiaOnline kind of reminds me of how some researchers found the top domains a machine learning image generator thing was trained on, and one of the top ones was pinimg.com (Pinterest's CDN URL). i think at this point every image that's ever been on the internet has probably been scraped for pinterest.
