That just makes people want to use Twitter less, won't it? Unless there's some grand strategist-levels Masterplan behind this that I'm simply too stupid to fathom? I already use less of Twitter since he owned it, and I may even just cut it off now. It's such a shame too because it's one way for content creators to reach out to their community aside from Discord... I personally use Twitter a lot to notify people when I'm going live, etc. but with this change there might not even be a point anymore because I absolutely refuse to sign up for Twitter Blue.

I'm sure that there are people that will pay $8/month for the Blue Accout to have unrestricted access to Twitter. Enough to see other social to do the same

He fired the worlds biggest experts on the technology at Twitter and thought he could do it better with a skeleton staff. Now the dead body rots. The skeleton is there. It smells musky, and the site has died.

I tried to rate limit myself, but I never hit it. I don’t think the is so much a policy as an engineering fuckup (maybe some combo of losing the Google cloud compute and the limiting of viewing without being logged in)

I am a dull and simple lad, but I've held a belief ever since Musk purchased Twitter he did it to wreck the platform. I'm still undecided if he's just looking to liquidate its assets, or drive off reasonable users so he can turn it into his personal soapbox.

I'm sure the advertisers are going to love that.

[–] IYeetChildren@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's funny is that people who paid for this shit also get rate limited

My pet theory...... Though I don't believe it.

Musk and u/spez are playing 4-dimensional chess. The end goal is to increase freedom and user choice. By slowly destroying their respective platforms, people are driven to the fediverse, the idea of centralised platforms is tainted, power is shifted back to the user and long term everyone is better off.

It is a nice thought experiment.....

Let me get this straight… paying verified members have limits on how many tweets they can read
