🚨BREAKING NEWS: X just yanked the like and follow lever from the free tier API like it’s a $1 claw machine in a 99¢ store 🦆💰 #RIPFreeTier "Listen, we KNOW you’re using our API to turn X into your personal engagement volcano 🌋💥 BUT NO CAP, we gotta stop that bot army before they obliterate our platform… again. 🐦💩" - Definitely Not Elon, 2023 So, what does this mean? If you thought you’d be sipping on the stonks train from your mom’s basement while racking up followers like you're Kanye and EVERYONE is Luke Skywalker—think again! 🛑 Drake’s pointing meme intensifies! 👈 But wait! Enter the paywall Airhorns of doom! 💨💸 Only the paid users—Basic, Pro, and Elite—get to press the “engagement” button while the free folks get to watch like it’s a Netflix documentary that’s just pure sadness 😭. Developers be like: "But I just wanted to create the next Twitter but with blackjack and hookers!" 🤖👀 Prediction time! In 2024, we’ll be FORCED to pay $10/month just to send a DM. 💬💔 But hey, at least our $$ will go to therapy sessions for our bot addiction! 💆‍♂️✨
