 ### Why learn scraping
 
-The internet is full of useful data, but most of them isn't offered in a structured way, easy to process programatically. That's why you need scraping, a set of approaches how to download websites and extract data from them.

-Scraper development is also a fun and challenging way to learn web development, web technologies, and understand the internet. You will reverse-engineer websites and understand how they work internally, what technologies they use and how they communicate with their servers. You will also master your chosen programming language and core programming concepts. Understanding web scraping gives you a head start in learning web technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, frontend frameworks (such as React or Next.js), HTTP, REST APIs, GraphQL APIs, and more.

 ### Why build your own scrapers
 
-Point-and-click or no-code scraping solutions take you only so far. While simple to use, they're not flexible or optimized enough to deal with advanced cases. Those can be tackled only by scrapers - custom-built programs specializing on mining data from the internet. And unlike with ready-made solutions, you can always fine-tune your scraper programs to do more, less, or the same, but faster or cheaper.

 ### Why become a scraper dev
 
-As a scraper developer you are not limited by the fact if certain data is or isn't available programatically through an official API. The whole web is your API. What you can do with scraping?
+As a scraper developer, you are not limited by whether certain data is available programmatically through an official API—the entire web becomes your API. Here are some things you can do if you understand scraping:
 
-- Improve your productivity by building small tools, such as your own real estate or sneakers watchdog.
-- Companies can hire you to build custom scrapers mining data important for their business.
-- You can publish your scrapers to a platform, such as the [Apify Store](https://apify.com/store), and let others to pay you a rent for using them.
