Twitter announced it's replacing the "Academic API" with a $100-per-month "Basic Access." Really happy we didn't invest in moving our infrastructure to the Academic API over the past year. Would have been wasted effort. As an academic who has been relying on Twitter data for my research program for 14 years, I'm pretty confident that the new "basic" access is not going to replace the collection streams we've been using all this time. Currently spending our effort branching out to other platforms

@katestarbird This is a disaster for academic research on the platform. No wonder the New York Times published an obituary of sorts today.
