This is why I like & believe in Farcaster 

the X API pricing killed my project 2 years ago and I had to sell it off (tweets. beauty and @poet_this). 
can't believe this is still an issue

I was straight up hit with a $43k/month bill for the "Enterprise" tier.  I was 17 at the time.
The situation was insane. everyone building on the API was panicking. I was lucky to get an acquirer but most didn't.

same with my discord bot Spacebot before that.

the inherent platform risk with these services make it hard to have ambitious goals and dreams. to the point where I don't even think it's a good idea to be building anything on top of the X API right now.

its the sad, but very unlikely to change reality.

This is why ai like & believe in Farcaster

I lost my blue check in December because I literally said “This is not a free speech app” and they took away my payouts, I got it back 30 days later but I was clearly de-ranked and shadowbanned on twitter after that, I made a whole YouTube series documenting it

Also PayPal had been known to suddenly close out accounts by leaving a major multi thousand dollar “service fee” these sudden bills are a bit of an Elon Musk playbook

This is why we need networks like Noice! Keep building, they cannot cancel all of us!!
