Man, no one is trying to run anything into the ground. They are just probing to see how far they can stretch their userbases. And, personally, I think they can go as far as they want. Social media has become an addiction for people and they will justify anything and everything to get their fix .
EDIT: What I mean is that people will accept everything and still continue to use the platforms because they are ingrained into their daily lives. Do you disagree? Need I remind you how vehemently some people defended Reddit’s decisions recently?
The thing is he’s not trying to do that because he actually thinks he’s doing a good job.
I keep hitting the limit by scrolling down. This is stupid.
twitter seems to use aws - wont they be getting charged per request? I know i get hammered by bots that costs me a load of coin
Twitter
Well, it certainly paves the way nicely for the BlueSky launch. People will be more than ready to leave in droves once that’s available. This is the only way to guarantee mass adoption for what is essentially twitter 2.0? You gotta well and truly kill the old platform.

Let me get this straight… paying verified members have limits on how many tweets they can read
Therefore any company that puts out notices or alerts via Twitter should immediately exit the platform. Running their own server on mastodon would be a better bet

I’m glad I don’t use Twitter and I’m moving away from Reddit now.
I see that a lot of people complain about reddit, twitter, and whatever mainstream website completely fuck the consumer, but fail to realize one crucial thing. The only time change happens in mob settings is when the pain of no change is greater than the pain of change. I applaud Elon, spez, and who ever else wishes to put there services behind their paywall whether it’s an API or just simply viewing tweets. Anyone in the know knows that it’s a crock of shit and anyone who isn’t is annoyed to the point where change is preferable. The sooner people figure out posting information, entertainment, and other forms of media/knowledge to the benefit of a company is horrendous the better. Now we have the opportunity to get rid of the corporate greed and basically open-source peoples knowledge from around the globe. Although like with reddit, mob mentality poses a real threat to communities like this one, I trust that you all are normal and level headed individuals who can come to disagreements but still respect eachother (as corny as that sounds). I much prefer it over giving more information to companies who use it to profit off of my content, while I receive nothing.
*Edit: Thank you kind stranger for the reddit gold! Glad you spent real hard cash so I can have reddit premium and reddit coins! The lovely people at reddit will be spending your money sitting on a yacht eating grapes in one hand and lobster in the other. I’m sure they are real thankful too! :) *
Or at least that’s what he’ll claim as it comes crashing down around him
limiting engagement an app that RELIES ON ENGAGEMENT??? IT CAN’T POSSIBLY GET DUMBER THAN THIS???
Quite curious with the timing of it all, it’s like a period of change where most things turn to the worse for apparently no reason.
What did he even think the purpose of APIs were. Data scraping puts unnecessary load on servers only to scrape out majority of the content. It’s funny how he shoots himself in the leg and now complain.
