So, YC backs startup clones now?

We&#x27;ve been noticing Backpackbang is scraping our entire site, daily + linking to all our images.<p>Also, they ripped off the exact design of the explore page design. Nice.<p>We&#x27;ve seen clones before, but pretty crazy to see this from a YC-backed company. Disappointing.

Maybe you should add watermark to your images &amp; start blocking their scrappers for now.

The traditional debate in accounting is &quot;<i>Make</i>, or <i>Buy</i>?&quot;<p><i>Theft</i> is cheaper than either.
