Are we sure this isn’t fake news?
the technology company, in response to a POLITICO inquiry, said this week that it had no paid political advertisers yet.
Twitter a) responds and b) has staff to respond? Since when?

And don’t forget the ads!
What an utter fucking gobshite

One of the replies pointed out all the code they left up from before (Internet Archive).

Even if the ad revenue sharing had launched in February (which, again, there’s currently no evidence that it did), it’s unclear how much it would’ve done for creators. While companies like YouTube have built thriving ecosystems based on sharing ad revenue, one of the key parts of that formula is actually having ad revenue to share.
This was in the comments:
I have 2 Twitter pages that should qualify for payments under this program. One page has 100,000 Followers, the other 1 million Followers. Both are Twitter Blue. The page with 1 million Followers has never had an ad in any of its threads even though it has had threads with over 1000 replies. The 100,000 Followers page gets ads in its threads occasionally. More so when this announcement was first made. I have contacted Twitter support. They eventually told me that there has been no official announcement on this program. I guess I am not clear on how Elon Musk announcing it is not official. There is no way to find out anything on any of this. It feels like no one at Twitter knows how to respond.

Elon Musk’s Twitter is dying a slow and tedious death
The social media platform is becoming much less interesting

And on the flip side, he does have at least a modicum of self-preservation.

wow, those are some pretty big bills
Twitter continues to pay its Google Cloud bill, though it tried to renegotiate a contract that stipulates $1 billion in Google Cloud spending over a five-year period. Google is said to have refused. (For comparison, the Amazon deal is $510 million over 5.5 years. Twitter originally planned to run the timeline component on Amazon’s cloud but has yet to do so, with AWS currently used for Twitter Spaces
though not large enough for companies of that size to make twitter be too big to fail

Twitter down.
{"errors":[{"message":"Your current API plan does not include access to this endpoint, please see https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api for more information","code":467}]}
Returning JSON rather than HTML seems like a deep error.

That error message implies to me that they’re trying to do the API lockdown and forgot that the UI uses the API too. That’s some high quality devops there Lou.
