The people who get to senior positions in companies like Twitter will have imbibed large quantities of "leadership" training, digital change management whitepapers etc and then Elon comes in and is like, what is your favorite color, okay great right answer i'm putting you in charge of global marketing
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 2 February 2023 16:28 (one year ago) link
its so silly all the funny lil bots obviously add value to twitter, they already charge for programs that suck up a lot of twitters data, dont see the value in charging ppl just to post whos going to pay for that

it was a good account. always knew it was time to stop scrolling whenever i came across one of those tweets lol
― sault bae (voodoo chili), Thursday, 2 February 2023 18:21 (one year ago) link
occurs to me that this will also kill all the apps that professional marketers use to schedule track etc their tweets doesnt seem good for a site whos advertising is cratering, and it wont actually kill those apps which generally support multiple platforms theyll just drop twitter functionality which is so much worse than if they just died

xp we can do it here instead

tho i guess twitter could make special deals with those apps except that its been reported that no one works there anymore who does that job lol

if the boys are really back in town they can afford to spread some cash around imo (pay the fees for repeat tweeting)

Good news!
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katienotopoulos/twitter-bot-api-changes-killing-fun
Some bots are just pleasant and surprising additions to your timeline. [lag∞n] of Vermont runs @_restaurant_bot (random photos of restaurants from Google Maps), @_weather_bot_ (current weather conditions from randomized places around the world), @everygoodfella (screenshots of every second of the movie Goodfellas), and a few others. He also doesn’t plan on paying and is considering moving them all to Mastodon.“It's over,” he told BuzzFeed News. “Bots are maybe the best part about Twitter! I follow a ton of them, they're cool and weird, and I will miss them. Fuck Elon, I never liked that guy.”
