A train full of human shit that's crashing into another train of shit. That, FOR SOME REASON, people seem to deeply care about now since Elon bought it.

Can Elon buy TikTok so he can nuke that into the ground too.

Numerous public service Twitter accounts have lost their ability to automatically post breaking news and events. Twitter has been removing API access, which allows many of these accounts to post in an authorized way by the platform, as it switches to Musk's new high-priced paid API system.

Many of these affected Twitter accounts have automated updates, but aren't the type of hands-off bot accounts that some may think of when they hear the term "bot."

For example, numerous National Weather Service accounts that provide consistent updates, both automated and manually posted by humans, shared that they could no longer provide their up-to-the-minute, potentially life-saving updates.

Other important services like the official account for the MTA, which runs New York City's public transit, and BART, which services San Francisco, shared similar issues with their access to Twitter's API.

Some of these accounts could potentially run off of Twitter's new basic $100 per month API plan. However, this plan has very limited access and may not provide what some of these services require, especially when considering they use to be able to get everything they needed to basically provide Twitter with more content for free. After the $100 plan, Twitter's new API tiers start at a whopping $42,000 per month.

Many indie developers were affected by these changes over the past few weeks. Some have had to close their Twitter-based apps due to the starting price for Enterprise API access being priced at $42,000 per month. Even services that wanted to pay, lost the ability to serve their customers as Twitter removed their API access without providing them any warning.

Microsoft is dropping support for Twitter from its integrated advertising platform. Guess the new enterprise pricing model isn't palatable.

Musk threatens to sue. Hilarious.

Not everyone's checkmark is gone yet, however, Musk is "paying" for some celebrities to keep their checkmark.

This whole shit is dumb regardless, the checkmark was just there to confirm the account wasn't an imposter but in true internet fashion, it morphed into a status symbol.

So he's... Not charging them

[Byrthnoth]

This is so bafflingly stupid. He's not extracting $8/mo from his customers that can most afford to pay it and instead is deauthenticating randos (probably lower profile media figures) that are less likely to pay.

Fundamentally, software's revenues do not scale with its costs. If you write a piece of software once, the costs you sunk into developing it are static and you can sell copies of it forever. Using a subscription model for software (like FFXI), means that you are incentivised to continue developing and supporting it.

However, identity authentication is not software. They have taken a software business (people effectively pay a subscription by viewing ads) and made it into a service business (get revenue by performing a service), but they kept the subscription business model even though identity verification happens only once.

In 30 years, self-assured HBS authors are going to have a lot to say about some of our dumber tech companies.

Only if they pay $8 a month though

It really didn't help the way a lot of small fish blue checks where treating it like one.

The responses to this tweet show just how absolutely unhinged the discourse around the blue checkmarks is.

Looks like I am part of a class action lawsuit against Meta Inc, I’ve been instructed to opt in or opt out. Considering there’s probably millions of FB users I doubt the settlement will be worth much but fuck it give me my money Zuck!
