They need to re-free up the API. Early adopters and hackers really did some great work using the API until they walled-gardened it and rate limited it to make it unusable. They need to do this for goodwill at the very least, but I think it will spark the fire to make it popular with techies again.

Based on the recently published discovery chats we will probably see:

* High def video

* Focus on music publication

* The highest revenue sharing cut from any social media platform for content creators to get people to switch.

* Removal of twitter blue but some kind of subscriptions to edit tweets

* Paid push DMs to followers (e.g. follow this account for drops, then the tweeter has to pay to tweet to this group)
