Systrom also told me Artifact will take seriously the job of serving readers with high-quality news and information. That means an effort to include only publishers who adhere to editorial standards of quality
...
Both left- and right-leaning publishers were included; you’ll find Fox News there, for example.

Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. A paid basic tier will be available instead 🧵— Twitter Dev (@TwitterDev) February 2, 2023

wait does that mean all my lovely artbots and so on? ffs twitter has been good not mad the last six weeks bcz my bots just ploughed on regardless giving my RANDOM CONTENT (algebra, astrology, art, vids of ppl falling over in funny ways on CCTV)
if i have to engage with PEOPLE i might as well be reading AI generated scripts, ppl suck and are dumb

I never got to make my bot that would correct people who still call the Willis Tower the Sears Tower.

Elon Musk sent an email to Twitter employees telling them to write a one pager on what they accomplished in January, what they plan to accomplish in February, and "any ideas you have for improving Twitter." Twitter has also implemented another change freeze.— Zoë Schiffer (@ZoeSchiffer) February 2, 2023

The people who get to senior positions in companies like Twitter will have imbibed large quantities of "leadership" training, digital change management whitepapers etc and then Elon comes in and is like, what is your favorite color, okay great right answer i'm putting you in charge of global marketing
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 2 February 2023 16:28 (one year ago) link
its so silly all the funny lil bots obviously add value to twitter, they already charge for programs that suck up a lot of twitters data, dont see the value in charging ppl just to post whos going to pay for that

it was a good account. always knew it was time to stop scrolling whenever i came across one of those tweets lol
― sault bae (voodoo chili), Thursday, 2 February 2023 18:21 (one year ago) link
occurs to me that this will also kill all the apps that professional marketers use to schedule track etc their tweets doesnt seem good for a site whos advertising is cratering, and it wont actually kill those apps which generally support multiple platforms theyll just drop twitter functionality which is so much worse than if they just died

xp we can do it here instead

tho i guess twitter could make special deals with those apps except that its been reported that no one works there anymore who does that job lol
