So a spam tool.

  Although the intention isn't to spam people, someone could definitely use it for that purpose until they are blocked or their account is suspended.

    > Although the intention isn't to spam people Spam is unsolicited communication sent in bulk. That's the exact intent of your tool.

    The example given in the repository readme is literally cold call sales spam garbage. Can you name a single non-malicious purpose for this tool?

      There was a lot of discussion around youtube-dl about how the same tool can be judged different ways, depending on the examples in the readme (which ended up being unit tests, rather than examples). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24872911 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24872911

        That has zero bearing on whether this right here is fundamentally and explicitly a tool for automating the bulk transmission of unsolicited messages, AKA spam, which this very clearly is, as directly stated by the author both here and also on the repo.
