Twitter has been the most news-making social media platform in the past months since billionaire Mr.Musk bid for Twitter last year. The recent big news is Twitter officially banned Third-party applications like Tweetbot and Twitterrific.

Since last week Third-party application users have faced some trouble when using that application with Twitter. The reason for this is that Twitter rules have changed

Then third-party applications are no longer available to work with Twitter.

Although this decision appears to be a step taken to protect users’ accounts, many experts comment that this is not related to that.

The rule modification and third-party client restriction are most likely the result of financial considerations. Since Musk took over, Twitter has been having financial problems, piling up billions of dollars in debt, and it probably makes less money from third-party clients than it does from its first-party one. The corporation doesn’t display adverts over the API, which limits its potential to monetize users of alternative apps, even though some developers pay to access it. It doesn’t help that Twitter Blue, a subscription service that mostly adds functionality to the official Twitter app, may not be as appealing to users of third-party clients.

What’s your thought? What is the next big news from Twitter?
