Reply to comment by 3vi1 in Twitter’s $42,000-per-Month API Prices Out Nearly Everyone | Tiers will start at $500,000 a year for access to 0.3 percent of the company’s tweets. Researchers say that’s too much for too little data by Hrmbee
Tesla is an AI company, a battery company, a solar company and Elon is 100x more intelligent then Gates. The growth rate of Tesla far surpasses the one of Microsoft. Gates could only dream of being ahead of Musk in the next 10 years. Mark my words. Not to mention he has the boring company, building space ships, phones, Twitter might be half the value now, but it will be 10x higher 10 years down the road (this is my Conservative valuation) 🤫😉

It’s going to be a cat and mouse game of people trying to scrape content and Elon trying to change things around just enough to break it. Just ask LinkedIn what happened

This. Elon could suck a million cocks a day and charge $500 a pop and still not have enough money after 10 years to buy Microsoft. I'm serious he'd be a a few hundred billion short after sucking billions of cocks - what makes anyone think he could even be a controlling shareholder. Microsoft is worth $1.89 trillion last I checked.
Put another way if all 330 million Americans including the children each tossed in $5K, that still wouldn't enough to buy Microsoft.

These are Ferrari prices for a Pinto quality bottom-of-the-barrel product. .3% of tweets is worthless on a platform mainly inhabited by bots.

Despite what your personal opinion is of autoplay, there’s mountains of evidence that it increases engagement and time spent in the app, which are key performance metrics. That’s true across all streaming and social media platforms.

I haven't heard about that. I'm curious too.
Of course anyone can file a SLAP lawsuit and hope to intimidate legal behavior through financial burden.

Well, often employers want to be able to reach employees at all hours of the day or night, especially those employees with specialized skills critical to production or operation. It’s a trade off. If you want to be able to call me at 3AM or at my son’s birthday party to get your power plant or oil refinery back up and running, then I’ll do whatever I like with your phone. Don’t like it? Then phone is powered down at 4PM and you can talk to me in the morning after you’ve lost 10 hours of production at $100k an hour.

Using a blacklist as opposed to a whitelist is absurd.
Unsurprised that government cybersecurity is complete shit given that no government pays even a fifth of what tech pays for the same security role.

Didn't LinkedIn sue an organisation for scraping a while back. Did that fly?

I know of many private companies that do not have these safeguards.

“But if I can’t use heroin what else can I use??”
Twitter is a drug. No less. People are addicted to it and are going to want to replace it. I agree they shouldn’t but there’s no logic in an addiction.

My understanding is that Elon is going with the move fast and break thing strategy that works really well for tech stuff obviously this price is too high to attract the majority of customers he'll lower it as capitalism supply and demand works itself out

Microsoft is valued at more than 15x Tesla. Elon couldn't buy a third of MS even if every lender forgot that Twitter's valuation has dropped by half since Musk took over.

Would putting the API on the top shelf keep bots and bs off the platform like hiding the cookies from the kids?

I stopped using Twitter long before elon took over. It’s just a pool of bull shit where everyone hurls insults at each other instead of having a civilized conversation about real issues.

>Things like investment firms who want to know what is going on and react in real time.
Were these investments firms using the API when it was free?

There’s been a lot of misreporting regarding the recent HiQ v. LinkedIn case from the 9th Circuit. The best write up I've encountered is by an Internet and Web Scraping attorney, Kieran McCarthy
The key takeaway is that in the 9th Circuit (which has the most developed law in this area) web scraping a publicly available website doesn’t necessarily constitute a CFAA violation, but that doesn’t mean what you did was either legal, or that you won’t face legal liability.
