So, this is what they’re going to ask Tweetbot and the rest of the alternative Twitter clients to switch to?

It seems like they're waiting for enterprise pricing: https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/15/tweetbot-3-arrives-with-a-...

I'd pay $10/month for Tweetbot. It is an ad-free twitter experience after all.

Well Tweetbot will be paying Twitter $11/mo. For them to also make some money, they have to charge you closer to $20/mo.

Tweetbot will not pay that, they'll poll instead of stream and have a worse product because of it.

Tweetbot with poll still beats Twitter.com with streaming.

I think polling instead of real-time. The timeline has decent rate limits, but I can't understand if the Direct message is rate-limited globally for the app or not?
