Twitter's API keeps breaking, even for developers paying $42,000
Everything worked fine until Elon Musk took over.
Twitter's API issues have frustrated developers in each of Twitter's new API access tiers. Those with Basic or Pro plans — paying $100 and $5000 a month for API access, respectively — have experienced unannounced changes to their plans, numerous bugs, and often receive zero customer support. And developers shelling out for Twitter's Enterprise API Plan, which starts at $42,000 per month, are experiencing sudden outages and disappointing service considering the money they're paying.
Anyone paying for the API access should have seen this coming. I'm surprised Twitter made it longer than the end of last year. At this rate I'm not too sure about end of this year.
12While I am unsurprised, I do feel bad for the developers who are stuck dealing with the manchild who runs Twitter.
8Seriously. Imagine the developers who sunk all of their time, effort, and money to make great and beloved 3rd party apps for these platforms to see it completely screwed over in the span of mere months by people who do not understand what made these platforms unique and successful.

How long before Musk announces a VR version of twitter, called "Metastasis"?
7You're going to give him ideas.
The documentary is going to be insane.

I have trouble wrapping my mind around the fact the is some sort of market value to be had by paying 42,000 per month to twitter. Edit: by "market value" I mean...imagine the amount of people that could sustain in their basic needs. How does this help anyone...I'm probably just dense.
