Twitter tells users to touch grass, adds new rule limiting how many tweets you can read per day

Elon has responded to the criticism and is increasing the limits to a whopping:

Verified accounts: 8000 posts/day
Unverified accounts: 800 posts/day
New unverified accounts: 400 posts/day
109

Who reads more than 800 posts every day? I only ever get on twitter for juice drama every few months

I mean scroll down the replies of a big tweet and you’d easily see 100 or 200 tweets according to Elon’s “view” system. Pretty much any tweet loading counts as a view to Twitter.

Every tweet you scroll past counts as a read tweet. That probably cuts down the number you can actually read by quite a lot.
