Tim ChambersElon's Master Plan:
Phase 1: Shut down API for almost all developers
(Oh sh*t, suddenly everyone is scraping the site!)
Phase 2: turn off read access to ALL of Twitter after 599 posts are read...
Step 3: ?
Phase 4: Profit!
Spiritech@tchambers Phase maybe 6 or 7: Twitter is private club for Eloneons.
Unabogie has voted Kamala!@tchambers it's a known fact that the way you grow a social media graph is by charging money for engagement and locking out new users. That's just science!
Rob Bos@tchambers Yeah, really. I didn't see it coming, but in retrospect, "let's get rid of the efficient way to retrieve content" inevitably leads to "people using inefficient methods to retrieve content".

Gerard@tchambers I'm still not convinced it isn't all a deliberate plan to destroy twitter. As to why - choose your favourite group:
a) to take it away from democrats
b) to take it away from Ukraine supporters
c) to take it away from people who call Elon rude names

Brian C. Keegan, Ph.D.@tchambers Endgame is paying $8/mo to get an emailed newsletter of the “best” tweets as measured by other blue checks.
@tchambers It’ll probably be closer to “pay 2 Muskbucks or consume 2 intrusive ads to unlock 50 more API calls” freemium enshittification.
Josh, or whatever@tchambers This post incorrectly assumes that Elon has a plan at all.
