There are good uses for page content to know what's in the JWT (display username, show logged-in status, etc). Cookies also have stricter size limits. Additionally, cookies by themselves are uniquely vulnerable to CSRF, although I guess these days using SameSite property correctly mitigates that.
I have done some scraping on my own of some real estate listing websites on my city and applied some filters.
The OP goes much deeper into that idea and I can totally see the need for such a thing. I didn't go much deeper in the idea as I have found something something interesting meanwhile, but this is a need, for sure.
I have written about this as well[1] and even built a Github PoC about it comparing both approaches regarding speed[2] but one of the main flaws is the lack of a deeper consideration for sorting and filtering examples and impact demonstration. Will look into adding more detail about that in an addendum.
Well, of course they do. That gives them more information about you "for free", which would be useful to them if your salary ask is below what they had imagined you would want.
Summarizing my experience: I have published a single article with the goal of better understanding the subjects and be able to correctly teach it (ofc a side income would be nice as well). Wanted to provide more value than what existed and posted in my own blog (powered by Telescope.ac), Substack, Medium, Dev.to and HackerNoon (sent for approval and got approved). Medium editors liked it and recommended it in the frontpage and their newsletters and "The Startup" magazine invited me to publish the story as theirs as well. And, as your belief, it suddenly "exploded": https://i.imgur.com/JHIoUIy.png
Too bad the post received a somewhat bad criticism and my moral went down to keep writing at the time. I will get back to it someday for sure.
One of the things I've learned is literally don't "impose" anything to your readers. What I've written is mainly cited by big sources (and I have included the sources in the article!), but people rather prefer to point the finger if they do not agree with you.
I believe the article title is a bit "imposing" on the reader, but so do are all the other "click-baity" titles we see everywhere, and in this case I am able to prove my point of view, being it through an explanation or a PoC that I do provide as well. But people are mean :)
This is a good point, and I've noticed this phenomenon on some video sites lately.
Although the caveats for this particular library[1] imply enough false positives and false negatives that it seems mostly useless. Sites that take this seriously must be doing something smarter.

Unfortunately FaunaDB isn't a SQL database, so it's in the same class as things like Cloud Firestore, AWS DynamoDB, and Mongo Atlas. Good datastores for serverless applications, but not so great for traditional applications migrated to serverless.
