Reply to comment by Ok_Sir5926 in Twitter’s $42,000-per-Month API Prices Out Nearly Everyone | Tiers will start at $500,000 a year for access to 0.3 percent of the company’s tweets. Researchers say that’s too much for too little data by Hrmbee

Just an aside: Ukraine uses Twitter to put its cause directly before the world. Nascent rebellions, such as in Iran, do also. Twitter is about far more than me showing you what I'm eating.

It's a method they choose to use because there's people on it.

Are you implying there's no way to talk to a large audience of people in 2023 without a specific free social media platform?

Twitter for now is an unmediated source of direct communication to an audience without paywalls, tweaks by journalists or their employers. For now. That's lifeblood to these movements. I'm not here to argue with you. Ukraine has itself said the same thing.

I'm not here to argue with YOU. You decided to reply to me. I was talking to another person.

Have a great day.
