Wow, thanks everyone for the tips! I didn’t realize there were so many ways to make it harder for bots to scrape my profile. I’ve already set my profile to private and turned off search engine indexing.
I’m still a bit nervous about third-party apps, so I’ll definitely check out the settings to block those. Also, the tools you mentioned—Octoparse and Scrapy Shield—sound interesting. Has anyone actually used them? Do they work well?
Thanks again for all the advice! You’ve all been super helpful.
