Are they effective or a waste of time?
For what?
>>58776857Sentiment analysis, market analysis, anything
>>58776822How do you use those?
>>58776871since when does retail dictate the marketonly when it does does sentiment analysis matter
>>58777004I'm the one asking the question, you know
>>58776822Scraping what? Twitter and Reddit both locked themselves down due to scraping for AI training.
>>58777122scraping telegram for example
>>58777222Don't you need an account to access telegram? You'd hit the per-account request limits immediately and get restricted.
Waste of time. Anyone who can utilize them properly doesn't need "web scraping tools", just a competent bash shell.
>>58777280You just log into a chat and scrape normally messages into that, not rocket science
>>58778507So you're connecting to a handful of chats to scrape a handful of messages. Isn't the point to get as much content as possible to figure out what the broad market sentiment is? Would a few chats really provide anything useful for how the market is going to move? Seems like much to small a sample size, prone to bias.
>>58779036you have a point, but this could be part of a broader sample, like plebbit or other internet investing forums
