    It's always most interesting to hear from people who have failed, but who have kept trying in new ways. I love it!

    Great talk! It always amazes me how some native English speakers don't make the slightest effort to speak slowly or use less out-there idioms when addressing people for who English is a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th language.

    • @jon9103

      Perhaps, but it's often hard to know what idioms will be challenging and not using idioms at all is rather unnatural.

    How crowded it was the scraping market when you started and how would you think is now, Pierre?
    Thanks

      Hi Alex,
      When we began, web scraping market was crowded, but the web scraping API market not so much.
      Now, there are more copycats than I can count 😅

    Side question: I cannot find any info on this channel on whether to go with paid only, free trial or maybe freemium model. Any suggestions where to find any helpful info around that? thanks
