StoryFireUser.get_subscriber_count needs to use regex

[meatyite]

@SuperSonicHub1 i think StoryFire needs to use regex too

Oh yes, I've seen this error before. I believe it is the way that Socialblade's API redirects users who make an invalid query. Let me do some investigation and get back to you.

After doing a bit of investigation both within Python and the Network tab of Chrome, I have come to the conclusion that the issue with StoryFireUser is not with our code, but instead with either Cloudflare, and by extension cloudscraper, or is Socialblade's way of blocking external users. I say this because the same error occasionally takes place with TwitchUser, although on a much smaller scale. If it is the former, I would suggest you start an issue with Cloudscraper. If it is the latter, we'll have to figure something out, or at least leave a warning that the function doesn't function 100% of the time

(P.S. I sent a message to you yesterday but it seemingly didn't get submitted. Sorry for the late response.)

@SuperSonicHub1 Yes we should write a warning. We should also maybe modify StoryFireUser.live_subscriber_count_generator's default request delay, since it will error more times?

Cool. I'll get on it.
