So he's privated his account, supposedly as a test to see if his tweets can still be seen or not. So private is likely going away is what I'm expecting. I presume Musk fired everyone who can read analytics if he's having to resort to this? Killing the Twitter API isn't going to help, either. I've already seen a couple of accounts that use it advertising Mastodon accounts that do the same thing. People aren't going to pay for this feature, they're just going to leave.

People running those wildly popular cute image bot accounts are announcing they're not going to pay, so yet again Elon has completely misunderstood what people use the service for and driven.off people giving his platform content people like for free... Still, he'll aways have cat turd and the Babylon bee. They're just as good, right?

Out of all the monumentally stupid ideas Musk has done to Twitter, this is the stupidest.

They’re killing free access to Twitter API on February 9th. Naturally, they’ll be offering a paid access tier after that date. God. Damn. Dumbass. Speaking of that paid access, is he on crack? Don't answer that.

I wouldn't be shocked if Twitter shuts down this year thanks to Musk's recklessness.

I wouldn't be shocked if Twitter shuts down this year thanks to Musk's recklessness. That is still expected. Don't forget in November people were saying that Twitter's death was going to be prolonged with features being either killed off or breaking down over time. And with the API being cut out, that's as evident as anything.

Don't answer that. I'd love to see some sort of stats about how many accounts using the API are big businesses out for sales and how many are individuals posting cute animal photos and memes. No individual is paying those prices.

Wonder if there's any person out there who's going to be so steadfast in their desire to drop a funny GIF every hour of the day as to spend $289 a month on it. You've got to think there's at least one person that devoted to shitposting.

Don't answer that. He's either gonna lose a chunk of traffic to the site or this is gonna be pulled back on due to the immense blowback, again. You can still schedule posts as far as I can see, but bots and API are an entirely different way to post and run accounts, and Musk is nuts if he thinks Twitter's userbase has AT MINIMUM, 150 dollars to throw around a month in an economy potentially heading towards a recession with inflation prices... like he's insane lmfao

I'm half laughing because this shitfest is legitimately funny and half pissed because I'm trying to grow my art portfolio and Twitter sucks now.
