Hmm...there are product owners on this forum that need to be wary of this, we already got like 1-2 guys selling LI scrapers on this forum. But the good thing is they are using proxies, does that still make one safe enough to fall into this trap?

Interesting read but I don't think they could do much harm.

Their anti-bot system sucks. I bet after acquisition of Linkedin by Microsoft it will suck even more. Everything MS touches turns into shitty bloatware.
