Yeah he doesn’t seem to understand he’s not selling the data, the data is public, he’s selling convenience. And if the convenience isn’t worth the price you’ve set, people will just take the extra effort and avoid the expense.

No you misunderstand they desperately want them to be trained with their data. They just want them to pay hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars to do so. Twitter is not buckling under the weight of data scraping, Elon is just pissed that companies are data scraping instead paying his exorbitant API fees.

I mean scroll down the replies of a big tweet and you’d easily see 100 or 200 tweets according to Elon’s “view” system. Pretty much any tweet loading counts as a view to Twitter.

It works for me. Although, for comments there’s no buttons you have to use the swipe gestures. Short right for upvote, long right for downvote, swipe left for comment.
