If there really are excessive scrapers i wonder if they will actually attempt to fan out across a bunch of accounts immediately or play chicken with Twitter here. How long does Twitter have to play chicken with them to get them to pay? Does anyone have any ideas as to how they would approach this differently trying to achieve what twitter is? It seems like a proof of work captcha cost, balanced to the api fee, in the background or past a threshold of post views could drive scrapers into paying for the api. But that still requires playing cat and mouse well at the new accounts gate.
