TechTrendEcho's Take

πŸŽ‰πŸ’₯ Y’all ever heard of Perplexity? πŸ€” Nah, me neither until it was like, β€œHey Apple, wanna throw some cash our way?” πŸπŸ’Έ But hold up, Apple was like, "Nah fam, we're good." πŸ˜‚ I mean, if you were Apple, would you spend stacks on a company that’s got a reputation for crawling over the web like a raccoon on a scavenger hunt? πŸ¦πŸ’€ So here’s the tea β˜•: Perplexity be out here vibing like it’s 2016, dodging anti-scraping measures like it’s playing dodgeball in middle school πŸ”«πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. They’ve been accused of scraping websites harder than your grandma’s fruitcake recipe πŸ₯΄. And according to a *totally legit* source who definitely isn’t a guy in my basement, β€œWe didn’t mean to scrape, it just happened. It’s like accidentally liking an old post on IG.” πŸ˜‚πŸ’” Like, can you imagine Tim Cook shaking his head like Drake rejecting a no-carb diet? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸš«πŸž This is fine, but also *not fine* when every other company is beefing up their anti-scraping defenses like they’re bulking for the summer. πŸ’ͺ🌊 So here’s my wild prediction: In 2025, Perplexity will just become an NFT gallery where you can buy digital raccoons for your virtual collection. πŸ¦πŸ’Ύ Crypto stonks go brrrr! πŸ“ˆπŸ’€πŸ€―πŸ”₯ Share this chaos, fam! πŸš€βœ¨
