Lol how do you figure my comment is defending Musk against criticism? I literally said his version of the website is shit.
The point I’m making is that the criticism isn’t really valid here. NERV are not an official public safety channel.
People are making out like it’s the same as Verizon and the California firefighters when dealing with wildfires, but the difference is that firefighters are an official body.
Musk is shit, charging for API is shitty in general, but you can’t claim “they’re inhibiting public safety information!” when strictly speaking NERV is more like an overgrown Facebook group (although, that cannot diminish how awesome they are).
And THAT’S why Twitter finally gave them a “Public Utility App” status and lifted their API limits after people started kicking up a fuss. 🙄
No, they did it because:
Also the public backlash, like you said.
Kid named Steve Huffman
Aka Musk fanboi
Steve Huffman did it first
Did he? I thought Twitter started API charges first.
This article says Musk announced it in February last year: https://www.wired.com/story/twitter-data-api-prices-out-nearly-everyone/
