So, apparently @twitterdev have decided to kill off third-party app support as of June — apps won't be able to support push notifications or auto-refresh streams and will only the same feed as the web, with ads, no lists, and random stuff people have liked.
Seems apps can/could just adapt and use the http api the web client does. BTW the mobile web client is quite good with an adblocker.

Anyone doing that at scale gets banned, and because it's a CFAA violation under current legal interpretations, that ban can have real teeth. They can likely get apps pulled from the app stores, and they can definitely kill the accounts of folks who use them.

Really? NewPipe doesn't get banned doing it with YouTube.

Youtube haven't staked out a strategic position on how you access their service in the same way.

Surely "visitor sees ads when they watch" is something like a position on how you access...?

Also being shown recommendations etc.
