Brief reminder/clarification that these tools are used to circumvent WhatsApp ToS, and that they are used to:
1- Spam
2- Scam
3- Avoid paying for Whatsapp API (which is the only form of monetization)
And that the reason this thing gets so many updates is probably because of a mouse and cat game where Meta updates their software continuously to avoid these types of hacks and the maintainers do so as well, whether in automated or manual fashion.
- afiori 1y agoConsidering the 18 billions price tag and the current mixing of user data between meta and WhatsApp I believe that meta has now revenue streams in mind than just the API pricing
- TZubiri 1y agoThe less people pay for software, the more companies are forced to look into other forms of monetization (and of paying engineers). The idea of users paying (even 1$ per year) for whatsapp has already died, now we are normalizing companies not paying for it? Fuck that, software engineers should be paid. Stop normalizing stealing.
