Costs me nothing. Some channels eventually reach their lifetime usefulness like a topic I was interested in and amassed some 500+ mentions of it on twitter, business news from 8 months ago about someone getting acquired etc. I can export the messages and delete the channel to avoid history archival. Only real cost would be the one or two times a year maintenance and improving bits and pieces every now and then.
- zitterbewegung 7y agoI think the better question is how long did it take you to set this up initially?
- iKlsR 7y agoRight, I started with RSS initially. It wasn't in one go, it was over a period. If I had to give you a definitive answer however, I haven't spent more than a couple hours total on this and I've been using this close to 2 years now. Did a recap last night and I have a total of 17 bots, some post daily, others I see once a month. I'm also seeing tools being shared here that could make this a lot easier as well such as huginn.
- beamatronic 7y agoThere’s no subscription charges or hosting costs?
- iKlsR 7y agoNone whatsoever. Other than my server which is unrelated (because the same service could run locally) where I have a twitter bot that listens for "save this" from my main account and will unroll a thread and format it nicely for reading later. See https://threadsja.com/ThreadsJa/1214555011289690112 https://threadsja.com/ThreadsJa/1214555011289690112 for an example. Used to be personal but I wiped it, got a domain and other people are slowly starting to use it. So about every service I have connected to it is on a free tier except Ploi (free as well) but I need for actual work and is also too good not to pay for.
