Article says the most likely reason is that Xwitter started charging for API access.

Oh. My. God. You're saying that charging for API access might be bad for business? /s

A lot of people left Reddit. I think years down the road we're going to find out just *how many bots were used to prop up their user numbers post-Rexit...

Charging for API access is fine. The problem is the fuck-off price tag. $42k is so outrageously dumb that it suggests that Musk doesn't want businesses to use the Twitter API.

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.
