#3Twitter and their V1 api was one of the reasons I fell in love with programming and automation.
Today "For hobbyists or prototypes" you pay $100. A month!
It's sad.

#4The "Use Cases" they list are hilariously vague and devoid of content.

#6The shear amount of floundering that twitter has done since Elon bought it is hilarious as a non-user. I do feel bad for the people who just like using twitter though, like every other week the checkmark means something different. I hear the trending tab is overrun with crypto spam now. Elon really knows how to shake up a company! And by shake up I mean destroy one step at a time.

For me it was reddit's api. That being said, they can't be expected to provide free or low-cost apis across the board forever...otherwise everyone's gonna just constantly use them to the detriment of the entire platform! There has to be a cost so that an equilibrium between demand and availability is attained.
Tbh, $100 a month for a hobby project or prototype is not the end of the world. Maybe they could add special student pricing for student hobbyists. Aren't they also still doing a free option that's reasonable for testing out the api?

#8I don’t want to scrape, but at these price points, small projects where I only need basic user profile data are simply more cost effective with scraping.
Some very dumb decisions with their API pricing. How do you go from $0 to $100 to $5,000?

$100 is way too expensive for the bulk of the world’s population. And that gets you just 10,000 tweets per month read limit.
