How is that link pointing to any evidence of a link between Nitter and Poast

They can make more money selling fewer items for higher prices. As long as there are people who can buym the prices will go up. Even the Chinese chip contenders are selling under performing products for the same or higher prices than the established ones.

This is bigger than a one man fight. Between this and wanting to rewrite nitter in golang instead of nim, I think the future of nitter is sadly quite grim.
