I applied for Twitter API access for a small personal app a few weeks ago. I receive the following response yesterday:
Thank you for applying for access to the Twitter API. We’re working on exciting updates including new access types and will have more to share soon. Please stay tuned to @TwitterDev and resubmit your application as soon as we launch our new API.
In the meantime, you can learn more about the Twitter API v2 and find resources on developer.twitter.com. We appreciate your continued interest in developing on the Twitter API.
Delusional for sure, even in the US market. That is up to 14 hours of minimum wage work. Even in California, that is 7+ hours of work. I think you can expect students to be working poorly paid jobs generally. I can't imagine anyone actually paying that as a student themselves.
Probably just a marketing technique to steer businesses away from that tier. I doubt they seriously expect many students to have 100$/month available to spend on their API.
if that means they've set up auto-responders with the poop emoji, but only to certain news outlets, that's even funnier than just responding with it to everybody
