If there is an api someone can, and has, written a client that makes twitter work better. You can subvert most the dumb shit they keep trying to throw into the experience that ruin the user experience. Ad's... don't show them, timeline... put it in order, etc.
Also there is a small community of researchers out there that use the api to detect botnets, follow networks, etc. Can't have that with musk around.

- sleepybrett 4y agoThey never put ads into the API actually.
- anigbrowl 4y agoI'm part of that small community. It's a pain in the ass, but I guess I'm just going to get better at asynchronous scraping.
