I saw videos of it stealing food from the traps. Okay i shall let it live

Those are very specific spiders.
if you are worried about your plant or dont like the spider - move it somewhere else. dont kill it...

I would love to have a pitcher diving spider in my GH, lol. if you are so lucky to see it happen, feel lucky

Even with those particular spiders that do steal potential prey from the traps, they do not steal so much prey as to be truly detrimental to the plant.

okay sweet, as long as it doesn't negatively affect my plant. thanks guys!

Sometimes those greedy spiders get their just desserts. It isn't uncommon for spiders to become additional food for carnivorous traps when they try to take the bugs the plant already has caught.
