  • Just going by anna’s blog post their business model seems to be trading information ie sharing the full database of hundreds of millions records with their memeber’s own records so the list keeps growing as more members join. Although I don’t see why they need a monopoly on said information given any other library would still continue working with them for their free streamlined process. There could be more to it but feels like they are wasting resources on this instead of putting them in things that actually matter.

    Edit: also I don’t think they scrapped or have information about the members like location of each book, simply just the metadata so it really seems harmless to me
