100%.

What stroke me is the startup ecosystem based on the Twitter API.

Twitter clients, data companies providing analytics of the whole Twitter stream...

Everything disappeared overnight after Twitter got big enough not to need that ecosystem to grow anymore.

Startups based on ChatGPT, Claude and other big names of the AI are next.

BINGO. Bootstrapped startups are going to be hit the hardest. All these AI platforms have to do is change the number or cost of API requests and you're out of business. That's why it's so important to have backups like building on open source LLM's and having it hosted on your own servers.
