Summary

OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger accused Tencent of scraping all Skill data from ClawHub and importing it into SkillHub. The project announcement highlights rising server costs, now reaching five digits, with no support from Tencent. Inflation data and increasing operational expenses are adding pressure to the project’s sustainability.

ChainThink reports that on March 12, X platform user SnowShadow claimed that Tencent's AI Skills community, SkillHub, scraped all Skills from the official OpenClaw plugin center, ClawHub, and imported them onto its own platform.

Peter Steinberger, founder of OpenClaw, responded: "I received an email from someone complaining that rate limits were preventing them from scraping fast enough. They were copying content but provided no support whatsoever for the project, and I hope Tencent can take action to prevent server costs from rising into five figures."
