#2I love it how they have “automated systems that remove spam” that somehow remove innocent accounts like this one but completely fail to remove blatantly obvious spam.
I don’t expect the system to be bulletproof and remove advanced spam rings, but when obvious spam is allowed to stay on the platform I’m wondering what the idiots at Twitter are really doing.

#3I'm saying it again, don't build a business based on someone else's data. At any point it could disappear, along with you.

#4"The BlockChain"? What's that?

#5Always figured that you get what you pay for, but in fact, Twitter/Facebook/Google aren't nearly that reliable in the long term.

I wonder how many companies have had their firehose dry up but then just generated data to get a bit of extra cash before closing down. Seems like you could train an AI model to do that if you have enough historical data saved.

What's a good alternative you would suggest?
I often have a similar problem and the fact is that most users hang out on platforms that suck like Twitter, Facebook, etc.
If I build my business on a decentralized platform like blockchain etc. I immediately lose 90% or even more of my target audience.
If I build my business on my own datacenter the cost and maintenance involved is staggeringly high.
Do you have a reasonable alternative that would allow small players like us to host large volumes of data (say about 1 TB to 2 TB) while completely controlling the ownership of the data?

#10I would assume Twitter suspended the account due to the rate of posts. Granted, you are allowed 2400 tweets per day, [1] so the account should not have had any issues....
