The file DM Advertiser.py is typically a script designed for Discord bots to automate mass direct messaging (DMs) for advertising purposes.
: Many users disable "Direct Messages from server members," which will trigger a discord.Forbidden error .
A functional DM advertiser script generally requires three main sections: DM Advertiser.py

: The loop that sends messages while avoiding rate limits. 📄 Example Script Structure ( DM Advertiser.py ) The file DM Advertiser
