'Can't even see my own tweets': Twitter users despair over Elon Musk's decision to limit views


From: Business Insider


In his latest Twitter shake-up, Elon Musk has decided to temporarily control how many tweets users can read each day.


On Saturday, Musk announced the daily limit, with some accounts restricted to 300 posts.


Musk said verified users would be able to read 6,000 posts per day, while unverified and newly created unverified accounts would only be able to read either 600 or 300 posts per day.


The decision sparked backlash and within hours the billionaire said he had extended the limits to 10,000 for verified users, 1,000 for unverified users, and 500 for newly unverified users. 


On Friday, Musk also changed Twitter's rules to stop unregistered users from viewing tweets without signing up. He said the move was part of "drastic and immediate" action to restrict access to tweets because AI companies were stealing Twitter's data. 


Despite Musk insisting the restrictions are temporary, some users have been confused and irritated by the sudden change of rules.


"How on earth did I already use up all my rate limits," Rawsalerts, a media account, tweeted, along with a screenshot of the account's limited timeline. "Now I can't even see my own tweets what is happening."


YouTube star MrBeast also chimed in on the drama: "I hit my tweet viewing limit for the day. Wtf do I do with my life now."


"It is time I just quit Twitter at this point," Matt Navarra, a social-media expert, posted in response to another user complaining they couldn't access his content. 


Others took to joking about the new restrictions. One user poked fun at the risk the policy might reduce views: "Babe no your tweet's a banger! Everyone just exceeded their rate limit before they saw it! Babe trust me!"


Another joked about their attempts to slow down their scrolling, posting a meme with the text: "Me trying to not scroll fast and waste my 600 tweet limit."


Musk also appeared to try and join in the fun, retweeting a parody account of himself that said the view limit was an attempt to make Twitter addicts "go outside." 


Representatives for Twitter did not respond to Insider's request for comment with a message that addressed the question.

Musk also appeared to try and join in the fun, retweeting a parody account of himself that said the view limit was an attempt to make Twitter addicts "go outside."
