Twitter is going into code Red when news organizations are going to start charging Twitter for use of their site... Or simply blocking them.

  I don’t think that’s likely. News orgs dependent on people seeing ads, so they benefit from their story going viral on twitter more than I think twitter benefits from people posting them. At the other end you have the conservative news channels that aggressively push bigot nonsense, and short as hell wouldn’t drop the opportunity to continue twitters conversion to parler.

    What does going viral on Twitter even mean when no one is using Twitter anymore. That other bots, that don't use the bots API, find your used hashtags interesting?

      > no one is using Twitter anymore Many are still using it. If they weren't this story wouldn't have ranked so high on HN
