Twitter's new API pricing plan is already killing off actually useful Twitter apps run by small indie developers who can't afford to pay $42,000 per month.
Twitter once again delays enforcing the new API price structure, which will charge devs $100 per month for basic access.
Twitter has told businesses to pay $1,000 per month for retaining gold badges and brands and organisations which do not pay the money will lose their checkmarks.
Last week, Twitter announced that it will stop offering free access to its API from February 9 and instead launch a paid version.
Users criticize the move with some stating it will destroy important research and activism on Twitter.
