This is an attempt of someone shortsighted trying to play the long run. If you think bots are the reason for this, you are wrong. Limits are carefully chosen so that they severely hinder non-paying users. Musk is neither good at solving issues nor is he good at planning things. This is his attempt to force more people to buy Twitter Blue.
If you are running a bot or 7, paying 8$ is nothing.
Sometimes the real DDOS are the companies we buy along the way
I Got it!
This reeks of him scaling back infrastructure to reduce costs, gets overloaded, and the C-level talent remainings best idea to prop it up is rate limiting.
Pathetic.
Twitter is like The Producers in that the owner seems like he's trying to destroy and also they've introduced nazis.
I gave up on Twitter when this turd took over but holy shit...
Or at least that's what he'll claim as it comes crashing down around him
What did he even think the purpose of APIs were. Data scraping puts unnecessary load on servers only to scrape out majority of the content. It’s funny how he shoots himself in the leg and now complain.
Can’t wait for Reddit to relearn this lesson too.
I don't know about twitter but it is common for the API to also be powering the front end regular user's interact with. No matter what it's stupid to rate limit this heavily.
True. REST APIs are a godsend to create structures and effectively communicate data. Shame its on the hands of these whimsical cry-baby CEOs
He's the cause of his own implosion. It's kind of wonderful to see.
Who would even read 300 a day?
Nevertheless, Twitter has fucking died. 😆
The sad part is that all the Musk evangelists (and there are a lot of them) will happily pay for a 'verified' account if they happen to exceed the limit.
I feel like most of them will already have it by now. For them its probably just a loyalty perk.
Let me get this straight… paying verified members have limits on how many tweets they can read
I thought the end goal is to no more Twitter. And I'm here for it.
It must have taken all of Elon's willpower to not make the limits:
I don't know if I could do a worse job running Twitter if I tried
I keep hitting the limit by scrolling down. This is stupid.
This isn't mildly infuriating, Musk is being the biggest fedi advocate out there! He's selflessly nuking his own site so he can drive traffic to decentralized alternatives. This is a good thing lol, and should be an important lesson on link rot, and that social media should never be the primary method of communication.
Maybe it was just me but Musk has never seemed like someone who actually understood tech. Just a rich guy who buys up other's work and talks a big game. I knew the second I heard he bought Twitter it was going to crash and burn. He's doing it way faster than I thought possible.
Of course he will eventually say this was all on purposes and not that he is crap at business and tech.
Therefore any company that puts out notices or alerts via Twitter should immediately exit the platform. Running their own server on mastodon would be a better bet
And it only cost $44 billion.
hello I'm from the future. Elon musk has fulfilled your prophecy.
billionaires gonna bill
what. the fuck.
