I look over at Twitter API land every once in a while just to see what craziness is happening. This week? They decided to remove the API that returns the following/followers for users. No notice, no comments, nothing. API stopped working, documents remove any mentions about it.
Is it a bug, is it on purpose? No one who knows is talking.
Imagine paying $100/5000/42,000+ a month for this.

The ghost of TwitterDev updated their change log (today, even though the change is dated 3 days ago) stating that the Following/Followers methods have been deprecated. Again no notice, no reasoning, no replacement, nothing.
