Gregory's Server@molly0xfff many apps that interact with it's API had problems even before this announcement and may have been deliberate: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/01/13/latest-twitter-problem-its-api-has-been-down-and-no-info-has-been-provided/
Remember photobucket? Controversial changes that happened in 2017 that broke 1000s of images on the internet by putting "off site hosting" behind a paywall. They did soften this policy a bit, but that's just one feature of the many useful features that were stripped out.
@molly0xfff This is photobucket then and now. Another example is the removal of the search feature. Surprised nobody talked about this since everyone forgot about the company due to its poor reputation.
