As soon as you get your TLS certificate you get bombarded with scraping. You don't need someone to "point a scraper at you".
What matters most is usually how much there is to scrape. If you have like 5 pages that's nothing. For forum like websites where each thread, each user profile, etc. gets scraped that's when traffic increases. I just let them have at it with no issues though, computers are fast.
That's really weird. My experience is quite different: I have several subdomains and all of them have TLS certs and I haven't (yet) seen this (thankfully). Either that, or my server is masking it. The weird thing is that my server is an OVH dedicated box that doesn't exactly have top-tier specs, so I have no idea what's going on there. Very weird indeed.
I mean... It may be that most of the things I run aren't really scrape-able. I run Matrix (which requires authentication), an XWiki instance, Zulip, Terraria, Forgejo, Nextcloud, a Mastodon server... Most of those require auth behind my Kanidm instance to actually do anything. Well and most of them have APIs that are much better than "scrape the universe".
