The feature to push `artist - title` to Twitter will be removed from Spinitron soon.

This is the special feature in [Metadata Push](https://forum.spinitron.com/t/metadata-push-guide/144) channels. You had to authenticate in **Admin: Integrations** and then use the `twitter:` pseudo-protocol in your push channel config.

It was always a kinda goofy idea. Who wants to follow a Twitter user who tweets every song on the radio, every few minutes 24-hours a day for ever?

Around the time that Musk took over Twitter and fired everyone we got reports from a few stations that Twitter was rejecting API calls from Spinitron. These accounts were being marked as bots in the great bot mind-control hyperventilation of 2022/3. There was no way to fix that. We pretty much stopped supporting the feature back then but didn’t remove it. We’re removing it soon as it has become a bit of a problem.
