The stupid part is nobody really cares how much they want to charge to organizations wanting to train AI models. Literally all they have to do is offer a reasonable price for third party app developers. It's not that hard to have different price tiers for different use cases.

And I don’t get why they never served their adds over the API if they were that desperate. If it was about the money they would have done that already. It’s about cutting out 3rd parties.

This. If they really wanted ads they could insert them into the posts at the back end so when retrieved there would just be posts, some of which would have been ads. Anyway fuck 'em. None of these corporations give a shot about the users not their employees . Its better to invest in user controlled alternatives.
