Sad Announcement
Dear(Name Removed)
We would like to inform you that Twitter has recently announced its decision to terminate free API access for developers by the 29th of April 2023. As a result, we will be facing significant financial hurdles to continue offering our Unfollowspy for Twitter service, with an estimated monthly cost of at least $42,000. Despite having funded our application primarily through nominal advertising revenue and personal investments, the annual expense of $504,000 is a financial obstacle that we are unable to surmount. Consequently, we regret to inform you that this tool will soon be removed from our website. This news is not only a disappointment for us but also a significant setback for the third-party developer community, who have immensely benefitted from the platform's access.
Over the past decade, we have had the privilege of meeting and interacting with some of the most remarkable people on Twitter, and our loyal users hold a special place in our hearts forever.
We will be posting further updates on our homepage shortly.
Thank you
Team Unfollowspy
