Creators! Please come to the Fediverse! You can't forever rely on corporate platforms. I was there when Facebook got enshittified, now Twitter tries to speed run it. And no, Elon was never a good guy, and he didn't make the electric car.
if this was implemented in late 2015 before everything on twitter turned to facebook lunatic EggAvatar284759472738 shit, i would have been in favor. but now it’s like slapping a band-aid on a cracked skull. too little, too late, musk is a redditor, etc
If it wasn’t to get the $1 they would refund it, like any company that wants to go the extra step to block bots by allowing the credit card for one account only.
If its against AI scrapping i am not sure what this will do to stop any of it. 1 dollar is a very low price to gain access to valuable data and many will gladly pay it for a bot. It only takes a single bot to open the profile of a list of users to then copy paste and store all that data elsewhere in a local document.
Neither will it stop scammer bots that are much more profitable then that cost.
The only kind of bot that would be stopped are the are fun hobby projects that don’t generate value.
