What makes you think that those who'd want that kind of interaction, haven't already done so?

Or is it rather that you want direct access to high-value individuals and experts?

Personally, I can see many more downsides to having scrapable contact info:

- crypto-peddling

- soliciting for jobs and investments

- social engineering attacks

- de-platforming for "politically incorrect" statements made 5 years ago
