> what I've learned is how little regard for your site your scrapers often have, scraping as aggressively as possible.

Often? Based on what data?

I find it much more likely you only often notice aggressive scrapers. That however tells you nothing about the behavior of the average web scraper or web scrapers in general.

The system encourages it. Ingress data is cheap, and so many scrapers just default to high frequency.
