I just figured out why Elon Musk pulled the plug abruptly on third-party Twitter apps. It’s an experiment. He’s not communicatinganything he’s doing for that reason. He’s looking at metrics to see if killing third-party apps' access to the API results in a reduction in usage and engagement that makes him think he should re-enable it, and then issue a false apology or whatever.
@glennf That’s a good theory. If that is the case we just have to hope that enough 3rd party app users decide to stop using Twitter entirely so that Elon will hopefully turn the api access back on.
