Another example of how muskrat is making Twitter worse:
Twitter API changes crush @PossumEveryHour and other good botsAnother day, another Twitter apocalypse. This time Elon Musk's company is purging some of the most popular automated accounts from its platform.
Little by little over the past few weeks, API access was suspended for a huge cluster of Twitter's most beloved bots. The suspensions were revealed when Twitter accounts that normally post automated pictures or memes suddenly posted on the site that they are being forced to shut down.
"Ah, but he did say he would get rid of the bots, didn't he?" you say. Well, yes but also no. See the problem isn't bots per se, it's that these particular bots weren't paying.
According to the creators of the bot accounts, it seems Twitter is suspending API access for bots that either don't pay for an API subscription, or opt not to join Twitter Blue, the platform's paid premium service.
I'm on Twitter every day for work and there have never been more spam bots than there are now, thousands of Chinese e-stores selling garbage,
**** bots and crypto scams galore, it's a mess.
