DT

There's a new trend happening with social media platforms closing and restricting API and data access. - Twitter arbitrarily shutting down APIs and jacking up API prices forcing apps to shut down. - Reddit drastically increasing API prices without notice, apps and companies had to shut down. - Twitter is now by default closing unauthenticated access. With these updates you can be charged tens of thousands to millions of dollars for API access. With machine learning using this public data, more and more apps will be doing this. The value proposition and narrative of web3 - open data built on public and permissionless infrastructure has ever been more important than it is now.
