There is nothing about the 100,000 token limit that makes any sense. People present it as Twitter wanting to "control the core experience". That's bullshit and always has been.
Twitter could have easily said "we will serve ads in this format. All apps that want to use the API must display the ads according to rules XYZ". Congrats! Now you can monetize and app developers can keep innovating.
The whole Twitter client fiasco remains one of the dumbest moves and for nonsensical reasons that Twitter itself could have easily solved.
I saw nothing in this announcement that addresses this problem or changes any policies related to it.
