he said that tons of companies were scrapping twitter data and taking up a huge server load.

basically- an AI or some other kind of startup of some kind would scrap Twitter data that they would use for their own apps--- take up tons of the twitter servers, and get a multi-million valuation--- while screwing twitter over.

Yeah, that's a load of garbage excuse he's using. He's desperately trying to drive people to sign up for an account so Twitter themselves can get the user's data (how all these sites make money which is fine, part of the deal). But Twitter has completely stagnated since he bought it. On top of driving away tons of advertisers, they aren't attracting new accounts and current accounts are engaging less and less. This is just a desperate move to boost the numbers in the short term but has no long term value and will likely backfire spectacularly

Yeah, it’s logical

But a pain until you just get an account and no one cares

No? They’re definitely doing that.

Maybe the rest is true. But it definitely is true

Data scrapping exist but it not a site breaking issue.

Washington did not get a haul for Beal.....

SMH.
6 second round picks and 4 first round swaps plus Chris Paul isn’t a haul?

Well, if it’s only for the minimum it’s not too bad.

Ah, no. Pick swaps when you're probably going to be the lesser team are worthless.
Also the 7th overall pick from pacers. It’s good for what Beal is. He’s an all star but not a top 10 player.
