Excellent use of $6. I imported my whole Twitter archive going back to 2011 with ‪Blue Ark @en.blueark.app. Didn't capture 100% due to retweets, replies, etc. but definitely a valuable service that will help me feel better about deleting X.

I suspect I may have more sympathy for the copyright claimants than you do, but as far as I can tell, this is the remedy they're asking for, and I don't find that model super-compelling either tbh
