Elon Musk Puts Limit On Number Of Posts Twitter Users Can Read Per Day

Elon Musk announced latest limits on the variety of posts Twitter users will have the ability to read every day in an effort to fight what he calls “extreme levels of information scraping” and “system manipulation.” The announcement from the billionaire owner of Twitter comes only a day after the social media platform decided to make it unimaginable for anyone with out a Twitter account to read tweets.

Musk explained that “verified” Twitter users can be limited to reading 6,000 posts per day, regular users can be limited to reading 600 posts per day and newly created accounts can be limited to reading 300 posts per day.

It needs to be noted that while Musk is using the term “verified,” Twitter doesn’t actually confirm the identity of anyone with a blue checkmark since he took over the corporate back in October. Musk began charging people $8 monthly to receive a blue tick mark, which has led to more misinformation being spread on Twitter.

It’s not immediately clear what number of posts the typical Twitter user reads per day, but some users complained about already hitting the boundaries on Saturday. It appears, nonetheless, that Tweetdeck and third-party apps still permit unverified users access to greater than 600 posts every day.

Musk has previously said he wanted Twitter to turn into an area where people spend essentially the most “unregretted” user minutes online, a metric that’s not typically measured on the planet of social media promoting.

Many Twitter users weren’t completely satisfied with Musk’s announcement about limiting the variety of tweets any given user can read in a day.

“I scroll through about 100 posts on my timeline per minute. If he keeps this it’ll literally end Twitter,” one user complained.

“It’s a social media app, selling ads based on impressions and time spent on the app, that’s going to make people use the app less. Unreal,” one other user identified.

“That is nuts,” yet one more user tweeted.

Jay Rosen from the media commented that Twitter Blue – which provides you a blue tick at $8 a month – was performing poorly and it could be possible to extend subscribers.

Other users joked about Twitter giving out tweet “rations” like in a Communist dictatorship.

Some users joked about how this latest move by Musk would allow them to interrupt the “addiction” of Twitter.

“Your addiction is about to be broken. All of us will likely be let loose. See you guys on the park,” one user joked.

Musk himself replied to that user, with “Touch grass again.”

The choice may have an effect on breaking news. This decision will hinder the dissemination of important information, in response to a Indiana meteorologist. This user shared screenshots of him attempting to log into the National Weather Service Indianapolis account, but it surely was impossible. displayed a notice that reads, “rate limit exceeded.”

Musk gave Linda Yaccarino the position of CEO at Twitter in early June. Nonetheless, it seems that the billionaire still makes many key decisions for the social media firm. Yaccarino, who previously worked for NBC Universal, was brought in to calm advertisers’ nerves after they became concerned concerning the drastic changes Musk implemented to Twitter shortly after he acquired it.

Musk fired 1000’s of staff and has reportedly stopped paying a lot of Twitter’s bills in a bid to make the corporate profitable. But, useless to say, that hasn’t made Twitter’s vendors and landlords very completely satisfied. After a landlord in Boulder, Colorado sued Twitter recently, Twitter’s parent company X counter-sued over its eviction.

Twitter replied to email questions on Saturday by sending a poop emoticon, an automatic reply arrange within the software of the 52-year old owner who purchased the social media platform. I’ll update this text if I get any more news about how these latest limits are changing the user experience.
