Twitter places strict cap on what number of tweets customers can learn every day

Twitter has begun aggressively limiting what number of tweets customers can view per day. On Saturday afternoon, Elon Musk said the corporate would limit unverified accounts to studying 600 posts per day and new accounts to solely 300 tweets every day. In the meantime, Twitter will permit verified accounts to learn 6,000 posts every day. For most people, meaning, wanting paying for Twitter Blue, they will spend a couple of minute or two on Twitter earlier than encountering a “price restrict exceeded” error. Lower than two hours later, Musk said Twitter would “quickly” ease the bounds to eight,000 for verified accounts and 800 for these with out Twitter Blue. 

Musk claimed the “momentary” limits had been put in place to handle “excessive ranges of information scraping” and “system manipulation.” The day earlier than, Twitter started stopping individuals not logged into the positioning from viewing tweets. Just like the utilization restrict, Musk has claimed the login restriction will solely be momentary and was put in place in response to information scrapers. “A number of hundred organizations (perhaps extra) had been scraping Twitter information extraordinarily aggressively, to the purpose the place it was affecting the true person expertise,” Musk said Friday. He later claimed “nearly each firm doing AI” was scraping Twitter to coach their fashions. “It’s somewhat galling to should convey giant numbers of servers on-line on an emergency foundation simply to facilitate some AI startup’s outrageous valuation,” he mentioned.  

Musk didn’t say what “new” means within the context of an account, nor did he say how lengthy Twitter plans to limit customers in the best way it is doing so at the moment. He additionally did not state if viewing advertisements counts towards a person’s view restrict. Both means, the restrictions severely restrict the useability of Twitter, making it troublesome, as an illustration, to confirm if a screenshot of a tweet is genuine. A cynical view of the scenario would counsel Twitter is looking for methods to squeeze each bit of cash it may possibly from its person base. In March, the corporate launched API adjustments that might price some organizations as a lot as $42,000 a month. Nevertheless, that transfer and the introduction of Twitter Blue do not seem to have offset the promoting income Twitter has lost since Musk’s takeover. Limiting what number of tweets, and by extension advertisements, customers can see is unlikely to make the corporate’s remaining purchasers joyful.
