No not dead just use cases for it with profitable ROI are low. Adult is best

Although more difficult to achieve, it’s definitely still a viable outreach strategy. More viable than emails. Instagram and LinkedIn outreach are great channels.

The only DM automation that still works safely and converts well is inbound trigger automations using official Meta-approved API tools. Having followers comment a specific keyword on your Reel or reply to a story to trigger an automated DM is working great.
