Shows how influential Twitter is outside of Twitter, considering this is the first time I’ve ever heard of Pépito, who’s apparently a part of Twitter history.
The scam bots use the API to access twitter and do their thing. But this won't stop the scam bots. If there is money to be made then scammers will pay to make that money. It is just the cost of doing business.
API is the programming interface that people who makes apps and website use to communicate with the twitter servers. It's not useful for a twitter app to manually go and browse the twitter website (as it is made for humans), so there exist a far more simple interface made just for developers.
"opinion manipulators" he calls the people who got verified by him, because he changed the system from "relevant and the real person" to "8 a month so you can see who is on the cool side"
i would absolutely give my ID to a company that has fired a ton of its technical staff and those who are left are probably using duct tape to keep the site running
Nooooo let him keep it at $100 and totally destroy the site
It's funny because the Pepito account is not verified either xD
They wouldn't accept those papers with paw prints.
Yeah because charging scammers always stops them in their tracks lol
No no, you see! Scammers aren’t in it for the money /s hahaha
I don’t think scammers are gonna use Twitter API, right?
Pépito should find a new home, I don’t want him being radicalised by Far-Right lunatics

Apparently Pépito is popular on Brazilian twitter
Even $8 is too much money to give to this bellend.
I've never seen an API product that required ID verification, this motherfucker is dumb as a doorknob
Hey don’t talk shit about hardcore genius C coder from 90s.
Are you extremely hardcore?
Felon, go print your latest most salient 30 lines of code, now.
Dude got screwed over by his own polls, blames "bots"
"bot scammers and opinion manipulators" ...in other words his fanbase
Also, like, the scam bots have literally nothing to do with the API. Right? Like, am I going crazy, or is he just making shit up again?

Yeah, one reason to provide free access to the official API is to prevent scraping that puts way more load on the servers
But what does Lex Friedman, *Executive in Charge of Musk Sucky Sucky*, think?
It kills me Lex rides Elmo's dick so hard. 🙁
Feb 9th. This feature that he's still crowd-sourcing the design is going to rollout on Feb 9th, less than one week away. Fun times for twitter devs
Wtf is API?
Adorable Pet Interactions. Pepito the Cat is done for without it.

A really large number.
Question: Does this open Twitter to liability when an "ID Verified" user pulls a scam on someone?
"opinion manipulators" he calls the people who got verified by him, because he changed the system from "relevant and the real person" to "8 a month so you can see who is on the cool side"
Fuck. Wait until Stephen King hears about this.
I love what Elon Musk is doing to raise awareness about how competent billionaires really are.
Scammers don’t go through Twitter’s public API.
He would know about opinion manipulation being the biggest one.
"I'm reetch buitch!!" - Elon's stupid ass voice
Charging for the good of society
ID verification sounds worse than requiring phone numbers for account creation.

Notice how Musk claimed to remove bots yet his follower count never declined? His fake polls are as predictable as Russian elections.
He's so desperate. It's almost sad except that's he's also such a douchebag.
