On: Why is Tweetbot for Mac $20?

I think it's likely that Twitter is willing to sell them more, but the price is too extreme for TapBots.

I doubt it. Even if Twitter would receive $100 per token, the total would still be peanuts for Twitter. 100,000 tokens × $100 = $10 million.

Even if every single Mac user would pay Twitter a one time fee of $100 to use a third party Twitter client, that would result in just $5 billion.

I think Twitter is betting they can earn more by controlling the experience.
