Honestly a very confusing move for Twitter, third party client users are probably the easiest to monetize users that Twitter has. They have already demonstrated that they get enough value out of the service to go out of their way to use a different client, potentially one that they pay for. Make them pay some monthly fee and everyone is happy?

Has any company tried revenue sharing with 3rd party clients?

Imagine a free tier of tweetbot got a slice of ads clicked in it. Premium ad free modes could be shared too.
