Twitter’s API issues have frustrated developers in each of Twitter’s new API access tiers. Those with Basic or Pro plans — paying $100 and $5000 a month for API access, respectively — have experienced unannounced changes to their plans, numerous bugs, and often receive zero customer support. And developers shelling out for Twitter’s Enterprise API Plan, which starts at $42,000 per month, are experiencing sudden outages and disappointing service considering the money they’re paying.
I have trouble wrapping my mind around the fact the is some sort of market value to be had by paying 42,000 per month to twitter. Edit: by “market value” I mean…imagine the amount of people that could sustain in their basic needs. How does this help anyone…I’m probably just dense.
Think nation states and AI companies.
While I am unsurprised, I do feel bad for the developers who are stuck dealing with the manchild who runs Twitter.
Seriously. Imagine the developers who sunk all of their time, effort, and money to make great and beloved 3rd party apps for these platforms to see it completely screwed over in the span of mere months by people who do not understand what made these platforms unique and successful.
Where did I see that before…
But on a serious note, there were Twitter 3rd party apps?
All the good ones got fired or quit by now anyway. The only people left are a bunch of “team players.”
More likely the ones left are on some work visa and do not have as much freedom to leave.
Indentured servants. Exactly how oligarchs prefer their workforce.
Elon does have experience with involuntary servants.
How long before Musk announces a VR version of twitter, called “Metastasis”?
You’re going to give him ideas.
The documentary is going to be insane.
