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.

This isn't Discord doing this out of the goodness of their privacy-concerned hearts. They'll eventually try to do a Salesforce-Slack kind of play here by preventing external entities from monetizing on their platform.

Tech will turn into a casino where the house (aka the platform) always wins.
