I'm quite sure this title will be changed when the mods see it, but for the record, since it's funny, the title the OP gave this was "Twitter baits developers into their API again", which honestly is a pretty good summary.
After what they did the last time, why would anyone trust them again?
I sure hope the mods don't change it, because the title is accurate.
I built so many apps using the first apis and then using the streaming apis just so they kill them that I don’t wanna try again
