Twitter C/D

they should hire noted herb jim spanfeller

rip bots the best part of twitter

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 🧵

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

good not mad

dont say in the paper that i was good not mad

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

they are devaluing corporate naming rights

theyre gonna fire more people lol

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.

is this the end of restaurants bot?

idk might put it on lol mastodon or mb try to figure out a way to automate posting via browser tho thats one of those things that tend to break a lot and you have to keep messing with which doesnt appeal to me that much

maybe ill start a newsletter that sends an email every half hour

once they get rid of bots, it's going to make those scientific vox populi polls even more accurate

Every SpongeBob Frame In Order also signing off sadly

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

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

KEEP TWITTER WEIRD

amen brother

come on lag00n just pony up

oh my god this pricing lol pic.twitter.com/wFjzefO3vm

i will miss the @NYT_first_said bot. always an unexpected delight

lol wow who is that pricing for

between my 4 bots id be paying a cool 1300 a month lol

well this is gonna thin my follows right out

Feel like not enough people are saying Elon is shutting down the twitter API to prevent people from using things like this to move to Mastodon https://t.co/pm8phwhr5N

being interviewed by buzzfeed as we speak hopefully this makes the cut

Pulling for you king

🙏🙏🙏

does that mean the twitter account that cycles through the lyrics of “the boys are back in town” is gonna die? idk if i can bear that!

yeah sorry

smh

it was a good account. always knew it was time to stop scrolling whenever i came across one of those tweets lol

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

[opening riff]

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

Guess who just got back today

Them wild-eyed boys that had been away

At least we'll finally be rid of that fucking "Eric Alper" bot. That alone makes it all worth it.

lol

maybe i can get a friend to text me the song line by line at 20 minute intervals for the rest of my life

Haven't changed, had much to say

but man, i still think them cats are crazy!

if the boys are really back in town they can afford to spread some cash around imo (pay the fees for repeat tweeting)

they can also pay for the africa by toto bot

Ugh going to miss this account too

although this bot will stop running on the 9th, we can all take solace in the fact that the boys will always be back in town. i will miss this bot and all of you who have followed it over the years. 💗 https://t.co/gW42eLNaNQ
