I wonder if Twitter considered charging users of third party apps to be able to use them? i.e. in order to access Twitter via a third party app, you have to pay a monthly subscription to twitter. I know Twitter has discussed subscriptions, and this seems like a way to leverage the value of third party apps to directly drive revenue. Maybe even give the third party app developers a cut. Then you have a situation where your developer ecosystem has incentives to drive usage and revenue for you.

> I wonder if Twitter considered charging users of third party apps to be able to use them? i.e. in order to access Twitter via a third party app, you have to pay a monthly subscription to twitter. Or even better, third-party developers pay for an API key set on a subscription plan to use the Twitter API in their apps, which makes sense and is a win-win-win for Twitter, third-party developers and users.

  That'd at least be accessible to Twitter users who don't live in part of the Anglosphere (or Japan).
