The text addresses several myths about web scraping, clarifying misconceptions about its legality, technical requirements, and practical challenges. It explains that web scraping is legal if it adheres to privacy laws and the terms of service of target websites, and is not to be confused with hacking. While traditionally a developer's task, new zero-code tools have made data scraping accessible to non-technical users. Contrary to popular belief, scraping is not easy and requires technical expertise to navigate complex website architectures and data cleaning processes. Additionally, data is not immediately ready for use upon collection and requires further processing. The process is not entirely automated and often necessitates human oversight, while scaling operations can be costly and complex without third-party infrastructure. Lastly, the assumption that web scraping yields large volumes of usable data is debunked, as quality validation is necessary to ensure accuracy and relevance.
