He claims that several hundred organizations were scraping Twitter data. Twitter also no longer allow people to view tweets without logging in.

I go on Twitter once a week or less. I've no interest in this

This is not it lmao. I don't think I'm going back to twttr unless they removed that feature. I've only been using the app for 5 mins now it says my rate exceeded or something

Twitter is a dying animal dragging itself through the sands of a desert and we are the flies buzzing around its wounds.

Because they discovered that you can scrape data instead of using their paid (and overpriced) API. This is Elon trying to give the finger to orgs that won’t pay, but in the end it’s just going to make twitter useless.

Imagine hating something you spent so much money on you cause of its own demise. I can't relate.

Is elon’s plan trying to destroy this app from the inside ? Why tf would he  think that this is a good idea ??

Well there must be a purpose to it otherwise they wouldn't do it temporarily

 

Probably all the layoffs and shenanigans he created with employees has left twitter struggling to function and it can't handle all the traffic

This

Absolutely cannot process the logic behind this all. Less usage = less ad $… I have to giggle 🤭

LPSG doesn't limit the amount of threads you can read and it's mostly free.
