Slack is great for the masses to get someone's attention. Not much else. I'm betting most of those requests start with:

"Hey, I have a problem, can someone help?"

No actual information follows, just minutes idle, waiting for someone to respond.

Slack is like a bird's nest. Baby birds chirp loudly, open up their mouths, and hope you'll regurgitate some worms into them.
