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.
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.
Think nation states and AI companies.
