Having recently worked for a hedge fund I noticed that too - although my idea predated that engagement . That's probably my first go-to market (if anyone has leads send me end email) .

Hedge funds actually call this "alternative data".

If you worked for a hedge fund and you know they purchase scraped data from quite a number of vendors then why are you asking if it’s a viable business model?

Of course it is.
