No, it's very, very easy to access high (>10K) rates of business-initiated conversations... once you submit your business verification with meta, of course. And a legitimate Whatsapp business account.

Again, I'm probably just too stupid and I'm missing the legitimate reasons for an extension like this other than "Spam thousands of whatsapp users from your throwaway accounts".

I'm sure you can illustrate them better than I can.

1. This Solution avoids verified Meta Business Manager account or WhatsApp Business Solution Provider (BSP) 2. Business-initiated conversations are costly. This is Free 3. Business-initiated conversations require pre-approved message templates. Here you dont. 4. Cloud API restricts access to Whatsapp Web. However, you can use this with Whatsapp Business 5. This is better solution for an Individual or Small Business. 6. You can use this solution alongwith Whatsapp Business
