A common trend I've seen recently on HN/Reddit is that due to the ruling of the HiQ vs. LinkedIn court case (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21241395), data scraping cannot be against the ToS of a given service.

That is not universally correct. And even if it is, selling the data is an easy way to an expensive lawsuit.
