This is it. @birdy_so got the final suspension. Birdy will not be able to afford the $42K/m Twitter API plan, nor will it be able to function properly on the $100/m. Therefore, it is shutting down 😔 I have spent so much time making this project the best I could. So much love

When I was 18, I believed I'd be rich AF by 30 😅 I wanted to be a multi-millionaire. At least 8 figures net worth 😮 Now that I'm 30, if I made 3K MRR with my apps I'd be the happiest man on earth 😂
