"Extreme levels of data scraping" my ass. This is probably meant to reduce server costs because Elon put a huge hole in this boat and now he does a very loud "look-what-you-made-me-do" scream. And what on earth would "system manipulation" exactly mean? Sounds like some pseudo-profound bullshit.

I don't know if I could do a worse job running Twitter if I tried
All official local, national, global government and information/news services should immediately set up Mastodon/Lemmy instances, or at least accounts on established federated instances. It's the only way to insure stability. Musk and his Saudi/RW anti-democratic partners acquired twitter to kill it.

I'm quite shocked Elon would implement a policy that is counter to the purpose of twitter... As controversial as it is, doomscrolling is probably twitter's biggest busines
I'm sure the advertisers are going to love that.
That's so dumb lol. Reading 600 tweets is like an hour of scrolling. What's the point in running a communication platform if people can't even get the message.
Let me get this straight… paying verified members have limits on how many tweets they can read
The sad part is that all the Musk evangelists (and there are a lot of them) will happily pay for a 'verified' account if they happen to exceed the limit.

I've never had an interest in twitter. Just not something I could see the point of myself. But it sure is popcorn inducing watching Musk speedrun it into the ground.
How to limit your ad revenue in one step
Musk never wanted to buy Twitter. So he's going to run it into the ground but never say it was his fault, Twitter just had an unsustainable business model.
BlueSky and Meta's Twitter clone will likely be what most people will migrate to. Haven't seen or heard as much about people going to Mastodon though.

This is an attempt of someone shortsighted trying to play the long run. If you think bots are the reason for this, you are wrong. Limits are carefully chosen so that they severely hinder non-paying users. Musk is neither good at solving issues nor is he good at planning things. This is his attempt to force more people to buy Twitter Blue.
If you are running a bot or 7, paying 8$ is nothing.

This only makes sense when you understand that he’s intentionally trying to destroy Twitter.

He's just a nutjob. Sorry, but that's what it is. A prime example for "the typical CEO".
I don't get why anyone would still hype this guy.
