Why do people put interesting long posts only on X? Then I have to figure out how to save them elsewhere 🙄. Not just because I don’t like X, but because it’s one of the most locked up sources around. And the API is among the priciest. I gave up the idea of doing a proper historical analysis/mapping of ribbonfarm mentions on Twitter because I estimated it would cost at least a month of $5000/mo api access.

Though otoh, I’m posting stuff on Notes out of laziness when it doesn’t even have search, let alone download or API access.
