These “freeloaders” is why people visit Twitter.

Twitter still doesn’t seem to understand what it’s product is.

Also the MTA clearly already has the infrastructure and provides this service in multiple other places.

They have 2 apps, their website, and SMS/email alerts. So the infrastructure is not an issue.

The only difference is if someone wants to look up an MTA alert they will now go to the website, like they always could, instead of possibly going to Twitter and being exposed to Twitter ads.
