This is a completely unhinged response to the idea of getting pizza delivered...

Sorry to be pedantic but Rozman isn't a GM

What is legitimate to a user is not the same as what is legitimate to a site owner. The legitimate way would probably be to use the Twitter API.

I agree it's a strong word, which is why I said borderline nefarious. However, it's not that far off from a DDOS tool.

At least in the United States, sounds like the jury is still out on the legality: https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-supreme-court-revives-..., but my perspective was more from an ethics standpoint anyway.

Unrelated to the article - is it just me or is this scrapingbee product borderline nefarious? From the homepage:

They pivoted to making software.

In a stroke of irony, the author generalized the entire population of a country. I have no clue how they came to the conclusion of "most Americans" assuming the crying was fake.

I don't think you understand what at-will means. They can fire the employee for no reason at all, alcoholism or not.

The article states that 6 months earlier, the board turned down a potential sale valued at double the eventual sale price.

You can't presume that they exercised early voluntarily. If you leave the company, you typically have 90 days to exercise options or they are forfeited back to the company.
