Twitter limits the number of readable tweets

In a surprising development, Twitter, the popular short message service, has introduced a limit on the number of readable tweets per day. The change affects millions of users worldwide and has sparked a wave of criticism and guesswork about the underlying motives.

The new rule

Twitter owner Elon Musk has announced that users will temporarily only be able to read a certain number of posts per day. For new users who have recently signed up on the platform, this limit is 300 tweets per day. For users with unverified accounts, it is up to 600 posts per day, while users with verified accounts can read up to 6000 posts per day.

Background of the change

Musk justifies the introduction of the access limit as an attempt to counteract data siphoning by companies that program voice bots with artificial intelligence. However, it also appears to be an attempt to get users to sign up for a paid subscription. Indeed, users of the paid service “Twitter Blue” can read up to 6,000 tweets per day.

Reactions and implications

The new regulation has caused much discussion and criticism. Many users are concerned about the impact of this change on their user experience and ability to move freely on the platform. It remains to be seen how this change will affect user numbers and overall adoption of Twitter.

Future developments

Musk has announced that the number of readable tweets will “soon” increase to 800 for non-paying customers and 8000 for paying customers. However, it is unclear how long the limit will be in place. It remains to be seen how these changes will affect the user experience and overall adoption of Twitter.

Restrictions for non-logged-in users

In addition to the above changes, Twitter has also restricted access for users who are not logged in. Those who are not logged in to the platform will no longer be able to read tweets at all. This change could have a significant impact on how people use Twitter and how information is disseminated on the platform.

Conclusion

The recent changes to Twitter mark a significant shift in the way the platform is used. While the impact of these changes remains to be seen, it is clear that they will have a significant impact on user experience and information dissemination on the platform. It remains to be seen how these changes will impact Twitter’s long-term user base and growth.
