Last week, Twitter announced Twitter API access for versions 2 and 1.1 will not be free, and a paid basic tier will be available from Feb. 9.  Later, Elon Musk announced that a write-only API would be available for bots that provide good content for free.  Last month, several third-party Twitter clients stopped working after Twitter deliberately suspended Twitter API for a select few apps.  A few days later, Twitter updated its developer agreement, officially banning third-party applications.  Elon Musk did not share what constitutes good content or who would be the deciding authority.  Twitter received a lot of pushback from developers after it changed the developer agreement and introduced a new paid basic tier.
