The Internet is a place where you can say, "I'm doing a healthy activity," and people will: a) mock the healthy activity b) suggest you're doing it wrong c) suggest it's wrong to do it at all d) tell you you should be doing another thing entirely and maybe don't be that person

if you want to get a sense of some of the impact of this change, just look at the quote tweets 💔
Alt Text Reader @get_altText This bot will probably stop working next week. It's been a long time coming at this point, but I'm still disappointed. Thanks to everyone who helped make this hellsite more accessible! ❤️
Foxes Every Hour @FoxesEveryHour If this policy does not change in these days on February 9th this bot will stop working. I don't earn anything with this bot so I can't afford to pay, sorry. I will try to find a solution/alternative to this Every SpongeBob Frame In Order @SbFramesInOrder Well, y'all, it's been nice knowing you. The bot will end when this goes through. It's been my honor serving you.
Emoji Mashup Bot @EmojiMashupBot Starting February 9, all the bots and tools like @EmojiMashupBot will stop working, unless their creators start paying a bill. Thousands of bots will shut down. Everything that made Twitter interesting for small developpers like me, will be gone.

Scoop: the bug that some Elon noticed that makes it so people can't see your tweets doesn't get fixed if you make your account private. You have to fully delete the account and then restart it. Story coming soon......
