Didn’t Reddit do exactly this? Isn’t that why I’m here?
There are dozens of us!
Dozens!
At least 4 dozen!
Twitter did it before Reddit, IIRC. It was part of the conversation around API fees for Reddit.
It’s a weird decision to further monetize access to a platform that’s hemorrhaging users and engagement.
It’s weird to you cause you’re not a mega-brain CEO… if revenue drops, you raise the prices, obviously.
i mean hemorrhaging users and engagement is why they’re trying to monetize whatever they can

Xitter has served its purpose. After the election he’ll probably ditch it.
Yup. It was bought as a tool to disrupt the next election. In that respect, it’s a hell of a good buy.
He also likes it so literal children can publicly adore him. Also grooming.
do third party twitter developers even exist anymore?

Gotta launder that Russian money somehow. Now they can pay him more without having to make as many accounts.
I used to use Twitter to follow celebs when they dropped performance dates. Now I don’t follow anyone anymore.
Can’t see how many one is surprised, that a capitalist company Reddit did this api fee, now x is doing it. Capitalist see, capitalist do.
Didnt twitter do it before reddit?
Yes. Twitter was first, then Reddit, now Twitter is another fee
With all the bs going on with twitter and reddit at this point for the least two years I don’t know anymore who did what first. It seemed like reddit was doing this around last year and Twitter seems to be following suit now.
