nah, it's plain AI stupidity, last paragraph tells it all.

> Is this a fork or slop-fork?

(Plus, their scraper always obeys robots.txt. If every scraper was like that, no one would ever need their anti-scraper solution)

Not always, for example original CD disks had capacity of 74 minutes to accommodate Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

Well-known 2FA-using services (Google, Paypal, Github) etc.. offer some way to recover your account, so losing your 2FA device does not mean you lose all access.

Pretty sure that the only people who use un-recoverable private keys are crypto-wallet users, and even they regularly lose access, despite having strong monetary incentive to keep backups.

Now of course it's all open source, and authors can implement whatever they want, including things like: "It's your own fault that you did not do that backup procedure correctly, the button was _right there_. Serves you right that you have lost your account, maybe you did not deserve it in the first place." But that may be no the best approach if you want to create something that people actually use...

AI slop with no personal touch is really not the best way to say "I really want this job".

It's all about money.
