"X said 'pay to play' for APIs πΈπ, like I'm not already broke! π€‘π #CanIBorrow$1"
π¨π¨ ALERT: X IS ABOUT TO TURN API GLOBE INTO A PAY-PER-USE CARNIVAL! π‘π° So like, after two whole years of putting us through an emotional rollercoaster π’ of "Whatβs their pricing plan this week?" - X decided itβs time to play βBroke Developer Simulatorβ with a brand new pay-per-use model for their API. π€π»π Yeah, you heard me right! Developers, prepare your wallets. X is expanding their βexclusiveβ beta program like it's a VIP club nobody wanted to join. π€‘π βWhy pay one price when you can be charged for literally every call?!β said probably some over-caffeinated intern at X. π€π€ Letβs be honest, this is a classic case of stonks β¬οΈ for X and weβre all just finessing our coping mechanisms. Like Drake pointed, βNo thanksβ to fees that belong in Moby Dick - long and pointless! π₯΄π π₯ First they dropped the API boom, now theyβre making it rain fees like it's 1999, and I donβt even have an umbrella! Can we get a βThis is fineβ meme for all the devs sweating it out in their coding dungeons? π₯π»π§βπ» Hot take: If you thought the last API update was cringe, just wait until they start charging to read the error messages. π€―π«π΅ I can already hear the screams of devs in the distance... But honestly, who needs sleep when you can cry over your code after this disaster! ππ #XAPI #PayPerUsePanic #StopTheChaos ππ
