Fool me once.. I'm not turning anyone into Facebook anything now that it costs upwards of £50 in boosts to reach the audience I built. Email list or bust.
Revoice is free.
Oh I'm not making a comment on revoice, I mean I'm not putting any effort into Facebook because they'll eventually move the goalposts and you lose access to your followers
I'd rather turn them into email list subscribers, so my messages always go to them without having to pay FB money.
You can export your subscribers to MailChimp or download a CSV file. We have a special email address where you can send your newsletter and we make it look good and deliver on Messenger.

So your subscribers a are yours and exportable

Is this a double submission? This user previously submitted this as a “Show HN” yesterday.

I wish people just knew what RSS was, and what RSS readers are.

With E-mail being pretty unreliable these days unless you use a big provider (Gmail, Mailchimp, etc.)[1], people mostly uses IM tools for all their communication (messenger, hangouts, txt, slack). Even the last company I was at, I barely checked my e-mail and used it mostly for logs.

So something like this will pretty much turn messenger into another useless platform people will ignore, but it's because we already ignore all those other noisy platforms. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

this seems like a great way to kill messenger lol
Subscription-based bots is one of their use cases. Of course, everyone has to opt-in first.
