1 year agoIt was inevitable. If it wasn’t for this it would eventually be for something else. They won’t let this go on much longer, if people don’t toe the line.
I just find it interesting how the fixation on API and things of that nature is happening all of a sudden across the different platforms.
You can say it’s Musk being Musk or Reddit setting up for their IPO, but a similar thing has been going on with instagram as well. They had rate limiting for a long time for those without accounts. Then back in May it started to get worse. At the same time they began banning/suspending accounts for merely just existing. The common theme was those accounts only had email attached to them.
It just seems there’s a real push to isolate things and Twitter and Instagram really want verification.
