So, YC backs startup clones now?
We've been noticing Backpackbang is scraping our entire site, daily + linking to all our images.
Also, they ripped off the exact design of the explore page design. Nice.
We've seen clones before, but pretty crazy to see this from a YC-backed company. Disappointing.

Maybe you should add watermark to your images & start blocking their scrappers for now.
Done. They'll probably just start saving the images, but at least there's a 404 for now.
The traditional debate in accounting is "Make, or Buy?"
Theft is cheaper than either.
