Wild when you think about it... Twitter is supported by ads. The more you are on Twitter the more ads you theoretically will see, making the adspace more valuable. Additionally, the more trouble users experience the less they want to use/interact with the service. Isn't such a small and arbitrary cap sort of kneecapping themselves?
I'm assuming the Twitter servers are on figurative fire and this is the only way they can deal short term, because I have a hard time seeing the benefit for them.
i think you’ve got it to be honest, there’s no way this was anyone’s first choice and is the best worst way to get users of the platform for “just a bit”.
Does it cost money to "verify" your account? I assumed they were just trying to force people into verifying since the limit is 10x higher for verified users.
Eight dollars a month.
