Twitter is closing its doors to hobby bots like this one. They tell us a week before this happens.
There's been a lot of measured, well-mannered commentary from other makers of Twitter bots. I thought I'd share my uncensored thoughts instead.
Fuck this.

I'm sorry, folks, but the Twitter API stopped working for this bot about a month ago, so the last percentage might forever be:
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░░░░░░░░ 47%
(It is now, in fact, 58%.)
Even if the price (which we still don't know, by the way) turns out to be something symbolic, like $5 a year, I'm not going to pay. To be clear: I have the money. I'm not asking for your help in paying it. No. It's just that the Twitter management can eat shit.
