		Mindwipe on May 28, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Twitter confirms Twitter Blue It's such a poor offering. I'm not completely unopposed to Twitter having a subscription offering, but this isn't what I'd want from it at all. (Number 1 would be unrestricted third party client before. The Twitter product team is awful and the UI basically unusable.)

Yeah I'm in this boat, too. In the end it might mean that I am paying Twitter $3/mo and the developer of the 3rd-party app, but to circumvent all API restrictions would be worth it. It seems a little unfair that Twitter gets so much of that money when it's really the app developer who is earning most of my value.
