i think not misguided.

they pay very large bills to make their platform work and people who use the API to make alternative clients are benefiting from this without paying.

No wonder Twitter is cutting them off.

Overall it is a dangerous choice to build a system based on a free API.

It’s not just alternative clients. It’s LinkedIn, Instagram, various value-add specific tools… stay tuned, it’s only getting worse.
