Why? You're freeloading. Pay for the service you use. It's as simple as that.

How is it freeloading when they have literally offered it for free?

Ah, yes, freeloading on a service that has been available free of charge for over 16 years and which is now being shut off with a week's notice and with no details regarding the paid plans that will supposedly replace it. Definitely not appropriate for them to be mad about that at all.

So my bot with a hundred thousand of followers is providing content and thus twitter should pay me for the content I provide right? Since I add value to the service?

We already paid with our data, by wasting screen space for tweets of accs we haven't followed.
