Idk what is about the scrolling format artists.

artists using twitter as an art gallery (sometimes even their sole art gallery) has nothing to do with the site's format, image quality cap, or ability to speedrun nobody-to-cancalled-any%. and has everything to do with 2 things: the fact that twitter is currently the only mainstream social media site that allows for no-holds-barred porn besides reddit (as of writing) or newgrounds (if you really want to call them mainstream?), and it's sheer widespread usage by the general public

Welp, it finally happened. The latest thing to break on Twitter is the date search syntax, rendering all art below the end of the so-called "infinite" scroll lost media unless you already have a link.

Working fine for me. It could still be in the process of being rolled out to all users or, we can hope, that it's just an intermittent bug depending on which server is being connected to.

Not working for me, and I found the same issue when trying to get some twitter sources recently ._.

There could least be an option to change the profile media order to "older to newer" like, dunno, most sites with images

Just tried it again this morning. It shows nothing if I'm logged out, but when I log in and refresh the page it gives me the results.

That's pretty normal when Twitter is adding (or in this case, removing) features. Logging in or out puts you in a different A/B group. I've been logged in this whole time and it still isn't working.

I love how the one core Twitter feature Emerald Man hasn't touched is the user interface gaslighting its entire user base.

Looks like they're going to start charging money for API access next (source)

Not sure what that means for applications that post to Twitter like PostyBirb, but I imagine this is going to throw a huge spanner into the works for scraping content. People are already speculating that this is the reason they broke searching metatags like until: and since:.

I remember years ago the API was the big reason that Twitter ever got popular in the first place, it was available on practically every platform because of that. Wish this site would just crash and burn sooner, but this probably isn't a big deal for the modern twitter audience.

About that, I am cautiously optimistic. Believe me when I say that I would rather want Twitter to shut down, but if it was to happen all the political junkies would either flock to other sites as what's been apparent from the Tumblr Exodus, or they will build their own sites which will ban all content, except what they agree with.

Firstly, they allow bigotry if it falls in line with their political affiliation. In other words, if it's a Liberal site and someone says "All men are rapists", it is allowed and more often than not replying against that is a "micro-aggression" and it can result in a ban; If it is a Conservative site, expect to see a lot of N-words splattered everywhere, mean while conspiratorial beliefs are left unmoderated, but the moment you oppose any of that you are either bullied or banned.
Secondly, Conservatives and Liberals are equally anti-minors in drawings (Not just the Nsfw kind) and to some extent anti-porn in general. Conservatives' excuse is "it's degenerate". Liberals' excuse is that it objectifies women. Given thse problems, I would prefer if Twitter kept those savages contained.

Sorry for making this long reply, but I hope Twitter stays online just to keep the remainder of the internet from getting too toxic.

4chan was a Moot point? :D

The API changes seem to have been delayed with no new deadline, despite "an immense amount of enthusiasm". Yeah, they actually said that. Not sure if these people are just bad liars or actually delusional but you can take a look at all the loving support they're getting in the replies...

Either way I'm trying to get all the use out of the Twitter API while I still can, but I'm sure there will still be workarounds afterwards because you're never going to kill the thriving spambot industry and it's only going to hurt legitimate users.

Next up they're removing SMS two-factor authentication for free users - they must be getting real desperate to actually find something that people are willing to pay for, because there's no way that they're actually worried about the cost that is probably a fraction of a cent per SMS message. If that is what they're worried about... they're probably in a worse financial situation than we thought.
