      Twitter integration was incredibly ubiquitous in all social based tech for some reason. I’m assuming its API was originally very friendly and unintrusive and now it’s probably the exact opposite. I think X is now also charging money, which is likely the primary reason Sony and Nintendo are dropping it.

        Which would make sense - stuff like this automates content creation on your platform, which justifies pricing for advertisement (its main income). Basically bots but not really because they’re initiated by a human action.

      Other than ejecting your microsd and having a reader for it, it used to be the only way to get screenshots off of your console. That’s the only reason I have a twitter account at all. After an update several years back you can just send the images to your phone.

      Yes, Facebook friends and Twitter followers. It’s in the “Add Friends” menu when you go to your profile on your Switch.
