I've often thought about the amount of data that these bot services must have access to (they could log millions of private channels), data thats silo'd away from search engines/indexers and could be pretty valuable to sell to someone training an AI model, or doing other things.

A while back there was a service called 'Spy Pet' that ran hundreds of discord bots selling access to searchable data logs. I wonder if discord is primarily concerned about the massive logging capability of services like these.

One of the things I found surprising is that many of Discord's bot permissions are not scoped to servers at all. I've been asked to authenticate with a bot service for one server numerous times that requests access to things pertaining to all servers I use, and that seems very wrong.
