Twitter's pricing that launched last week starts at $100 per month for a “basic” amount of data while the high end 'ranges from $42,000 to $210,000 per month,' some academic researchers say

Now, as Twitter has released more pricing information, many of those same academics are saying their fears were well-founded, complaining that Twitter’s new tiered paywall not only charges “outrageously expensive” prices but that it also restricts the amount of accessible data so heavily that what little researchers can see, even on the most expensive tiers, is not useful for studies at any rigorous level.

The company’s pricing that launched last week, starting at $100 per month for a “basic” amount of data, does not provide nearly enough volume for users at the low end, while the high end “ranges from $42,000 to $210,000 per month [and] is unaffordable for researchers,” the letter said. The new basic tier limits users to reading just 10,000 tweets per month. That represents 0.3% of what researchers used to be able to collect in a single day, the letter said.

It’s your choice, don’t buy it if you don’t like it! Please don’t scream at government because you don’t like the price. Just buy another product!!! Easy, right.

LOL

Nobody is going to pay those prices, just like nobody is paying for blue check marks. And twitter continues its march to eventual irrelevance.

Lol. Elon knows how to make money!
