Copy-pasting my last comment on this:
> I'm pretty sure breaking 3rd party clients was intentional.
> Twitter had tightened the reigns on them years ago because it just cost them money to keep them alive. It makes sense that would be first on the chopping block when they're looking for cost-saving measures, and I figured it was inevitable regardless of the Elon takeover.
I don't think that was technical ineptitude, but rather a cost-saving decision from the business.
