Does it mean that it forces the customers to send 50 messages instead of a single mail message?

Always feels awkward when there are general statements about the group you belong to, which are certainly false at least for you, and possibly for most others you know in that group.

If anything, I would expect developers to dislike a web chat, as tech-savvy people generally seem to prefer more lightweight and customizable options.

I was curious why it was a problem to support thousands of customers in the first place, and looks like the issues were in combining conversations over different communication channels, and that a single overloaded person used to create those Slack chats.
