MODERATORS
The majority of companies who use Slack (over the likes of Teams) are tech-oriented companies made mid last decade.
Making a Twitter scrapper that pushes to a webhook would take half a day and would cost essentially zero if you just toss it in a random cloud cluster and forget about it. And if you don't have that scale, then you likely have a team leader somewhere who will run it on a machine of their own out of spite.
And scrappers are way more wasteful for the target webhost.
This change hurts literally nobody other than Felon. Good.
