How does a bot scraping your silly hobby sites for any purpose harm or negatively affect you in any way?

Depends if they hit a site enough to make it cost something. It's not hard for bots to flood servers.
Only if they push me over my bandwidth limits but they can't do that if I just drop them on the floor.
