Twitter stopped working entirely for some 3rd party apps late last week. Dev communication looks extremely slim and the only comms has been a very vague tweet:

  But how is that relevant? Pulling the rug under third party apps is probably a bad move from Twitter, but everything seems to indicate that it was intentional and not just a breakage/outage caused by a shortage of staff.

    Breaking SMS delivery, logins, increased number of 500 responses, failures in the recommendation engine, failures loading conversations and bugs galore, including displaying tweets of locked accounts you don't follow that someone you do follow replied to are some of the recent outages and bugs I can remember of the top of my head from the past 3 weeks.

  I'm pretty sure breaking 3rd party clients was intentional. Twitter had tightened the reigns on them years ago because it just cost them money to keep them alive. It makes sense that would be first on the chopping block when they're looking for cost-saving measures, and I figured it was inevitable regardless of the Elon takeover. I have a feeling it's coming for reddit too. That one I dread cause their official app is horrible.

    If disabling the API were intentional, a well-run company would have announced it beforehand.
