This means alot of interesting price and market stat tracking bots will be dead soon?

If so a major use is going out the window.

I assume you can still scrape for free by using the web API.

I think those accounts use free api access to post that data in tweets.

7 Days notice with no details on alternatives. Nice one, twitter, I'm sure this won't drive anyone off the platform or anything.

Not even pricing information!

Twitter is a train wreck. One week notice? No pricing information? No details on how to sign up or migrate to this? No confidence that this won't cause service disruptions? No blog post on their engineering blog with details?

You can't lose money if you are not making any money. Elon Musk is BRILLIANT.

So unclear, so out of nowhere. What does this mean? Data pulling or actual 'use' of twitter like posting tweets? If it's the latter that would kill a million accounts that post

Sucks. Why does everything have to suck.
