Elon's meddling
2 years ago
So TweetDeck is becoming a subscription-only ("Twitter Blue") feature in under 30 days. The newest push to monetize that social media platform.
The API for the old version of TweetDeck has been removed citing efforts to reduce data scraping. This broke any lingering app that relied on the old version of TweetDeck. At the same time, people who were still using said version were "switched" up to the "TweetDeck Preview" version, which is the one that is going behind a paywall in 30 days.
If you never used TweetDeck or anything like it, this isn't a problem for you. But if you do (or did) and you used its columns feature to track multiple users concurrently, your experience on the platform is about to get a lot more inconvenient in 30 days as you'll either have to start giving Elon your money or get used to doing a lot of scrolling in the standard Twitter site/app.
There's been evidence that this move was planned since long before Elon bought the company, but the fact that its happening now with everything else Elon has done to ban 3rd party clients... Let's just say that its going to get a lot more frustrating to scan twitter to see if any artists (exclusively on that platform or not) have opened for commissions.
See, this is more or less why I like Discord. >_>

Sounds like they are doing the same thing Reddit did. Removing access to APIs so they can monetize 3rd party apps.
