Oh please - Twitter has never given a shit about third party clients and has been threatening to do this for a long time now. Devs couldn't even get API keys to authorize new users of their products for the longest time.
It's still shitty that Twitter still hasn't been up front and definitive about the status of the API, none of this is new just because of Elon.
Yeah, I was at Chirp in 2010 and they couldn’t have been more explicit that they didn’t want people working on third party clients, which made for a weird atmosphere at a developer conference.
Yeah, this is annoying to me personally because the client I use now doesn't work, but the writing has been on the wall for aaaaaages. The client I use was pulled from the store in 2018 because they hit their token limit.
