Elon has enacted a 600 tweet view limit, unless you pay him a fee.

That should fuck up anyone trying to advertise their business on Twitter. No longer can idlers like myself skim Twitter for 45 minutes for whatever strikes my fancy. I can actually go do something more useful - like read a book or take a stroll. But it's going to fuck over girls and agencies trying to advertise their shtick.

Elon is an asshole.

Wow, that is a nasty play by the Musk. He's going to completely ruin Twitter.

Is it 600 per day, week or month?

EDIT---found it

Verified accounts are temporarily limited to reading 6,000 posts a day, Musk said, adding that the unverified accounts will be limited to 600 posts a day with new unverified accounts limited to 300.

It's already starting to screw things up. I got a notification that a touring girl was going to come to Toronto, but I couldn't view her page because I was over my 600-tweet limit.

The official word is that it's a temporary measure, not to profit, but to counter bot data scraping.

Let's be angry at Musk and Twitter for the right reasons, not this one. It's not a policy change in order to start charging people to see more tweets. It's a way of investigating and stopping a drain on their infrastructure. Is it a good idea? Probably not. But it's not a cash grab.

Does scrolling count as views, or do you need to actually click onto a post for it to count!

I think probably the latter. I could click on photos, but not see the tweets under them.

Who's still using twitter? I thought Musk and twitter are finished? I thought he's on his way to bankruptcy by now?
