<p>I have a question though. When did I opt-in to have my content scraped so you could make a buck from it?</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t. It&#8217;s hard to believe that Google would allow this site to continue to be ranked in the future.</p>
<p>The only way I would be ok with this is if they emailed me first and asked me if I wanted to be scraped. It&#8217;s called opt-in. That isn&#8217;t happening.</p>
