   So, I've just been told that "Followers only" posts can also be scraped easily as well and that they don't necessarily just go to Followers.

   Is this true? Is there any proof of this happening?

   That'd be wild...

     @BeAware pure conjecture, but they might still transit federated servers, which will receive the content ostensibly unencrypted. So if the scraper is actually federated on activity pub and we'll connected, it seems plausible.
