In addition, newsletter platform Substack has encountered issues with embedded tweets, though it is unclear if this is related to the API shutdown or Substack’s recent announcement of a potential Twitter competitor. (Embeds appear to be functioning normally on other websites.)
Compounding these issues is the fact that Twitter has communicated very little with its developers about these changes or their implications. Most of the employees who worked in developer relations were laid off during the company’s mass layoffs, and the company’s developer forums are filled with posts from confused developers seeking answers. Furthermore, Twitter no longer has a communications team, and its press email auto-responds with a poop emoji.
I am sad to announce that as of today, Social Bearing is no longer operational as our access to Twitter's free API has been revoked
The new free and basic API plans are far too limiting, and at ~$40k/month, the enterprise tier is far too expensive to keep running pic.twitter.com/wpGTTC8Lkp
