In what fucking world is $100/month "low cost?" And the free access mentions 1500 writes a month, but does that literally mean that it's write only? If so, that's great for, say, the rpilocator auto-notifications, but useless for pretty much all other purposes. And somehow, amid all this, they still have goofy shit like having to "apply" for Enterprise access. All this tells me is that Twitter, with or without Elon in charge, just do. not. get. it. when it comes to working with 3rd party developers. Just do this Twitter: 1. Offer a usable free tier. Not necessarily a generous free tier, but something that is good enough for hobbyists, small time projects, experimenting with the API, etc. 2. Make it so all I need to access more data through the API is my same account, and a credit card. Period. No "application", no goofy bullshit. Just "if you can afford it, here it is." Have a few tiers at progressive levels of capability and associated cost. If the full-firehose is crazy expensive, so be it. I think everybody understands that it isn't going to be cheap. That's it. That's how the Twitter API needs to work. If you actually, you know, want developers to develop for Twitter. But let's be honest... you don't really. For whatever bizarre reason, this has been an issue with Twitter going back to nearly the beginning and things don't seem to have gotten any better, so... developers are now better served working on Fediverse projects and just ignoring Twitter altogether.
