When Twitter first rolled out their paid API tiers my company tried to reason with their sales reps that charging us for the privilege of letting our users share their content with Twitter was absurd considering Twitter was the one gaining more from the interaction than us. They wouldn't budge and asked us for I think $300K/month because of our high volume. "Lol, no" was a very easy answer.
- creshal 2y agoI really wonder what kind of business model you need to able to afford Twitter's API pricing. It seems so outlandishly ridiculous that it kills any use case I can come up with.
- dehrmann 2y agoShould have countered with "we'll keep the integration if you pay us $2,000 per month."
- me_me_me 2y ago"You want us to pay you, so our users create content for your platform?" What do you even say to that as twitter sales rep?
