Everything worked fine until Elon Musk took over.
Amazing how still many of those developers post things like “Hey Elon Musk, something broke, please help us” rather than “Hey all, Elon Musk once again fucked with the system we’re paying $42,000 / month to use, and there is nobody at Twitter we can even talk to”.
Was bound to happen when average people started creating cults of personality around billionaires.
If you’re willing to pay 42k then you’re probably running a business and need to maintain a relationship with Twitter. Taking shots at their owner, regardless of how you feel about them, probably won’t give you the outcome you want.
It’s easy to do the right thing when you have nothing to lose. It’s a different story when your job is on the line.
Everyone should leave Twitter by now. It’s getting worse by time.
I left the day after the sale was final.
I’m glad I left already last autumn.
Surely it will be different for those paying for the reddit API, right?
Elon took over pretending to be a programmer and started micromanaging, breaking things in the process. I don’t think this will happen to reddit…
…
because nobody is going to pay it, working or not
Absolutely no doubt. Unlike Elon, spez is an absolute sweetheart!
To quote the end of the article: 🤣
Thanks for the reminder to delete my twitter account. Kinda sad to see that once again those with too much money get to ruin things for everyone else.
Maybe those servers he randomly unplugged turned out to be important after all
That sounds actionable.
At this point it becomes a tax on idiots.
From these collapses of Twitter API, I learned that API developer must work standing on free and open mind for other developers using the API, even if he/she joins commercial enterprise.
classicccccc
