mccLots of people looking at the Twitter free API shutdown and going "well I guess you won't be able to [X] anymore!!". But we're overlooking another, much worse possibility, which is that many of those things will keep happening, but now Twitter will be getting paid for them.
I still have my Playstation and Switch logins linked to Twitter accounts because even if I don't use Twitter the easiest way to get screenshots off those systems is to post them to a tweet on a burner account then download the image elsewhere. So when the free API goes down in a week, will that feature just stop working? Or will Sony/Nintendo cut a deal, and I'll just be earning Elon Musk five cents every time I save a screenshot? Horror
lori@mcc God getting screenshots off of the Switch has always been an unnecessary nightmare, I really like that Xbox will just let me automatically sync them into the Xbox app on my phone. The Switch, you either tweet them, fuck around with SD cards, or do the nightmarish "Switch sets up an access point you connect to" method.
