๐Elon Musk Slaps Tweet Limit: Non-Payers Get the Short End of the Stick?
TL;DR; ๐ฑUnraveling Twitter’s mass outage drama this past weekend, Elon Musk dropped the bomb – there’s a new sheriff in Tweetville, folks! Non-paying, unverified users now face a daily tweet limit. Surprise! ๐ And here you were thinking Twitter had server issues or a system glitch. Nope, Musk has got you by the tweet, my friends.
What’s the deal with the Twitterverse lately, you ask? Well, over the weekend, your favorite social media platform decided to play hard-to-get. And no, we’re not talking about a cutesy, flirtatious game of cat and mouse. ๐ฑ๐ญ No, sir! Twitter was all out throwing a major tantrum, denying users the ability to see new tweets, check out what’s trending, or even refresh their main feed. Everyone was smacked in the face with the same, dreadful message – Rate Limit Exceeded. Ouch, right?
But wait, why would Twitter do such a thing? ๐ค
A common hypothesis was that there was a server capacity issue or perhaps a glitch in the system. Like, “Hey, these things happen, right?” Or maybe Elon Musk, having recently taken the Twitter throne, was just busy remodeling the virtual office. Well, if that’s what you thought, think again, friend. ๐คจ
Cue Elon Musk strolling onto the Twitter stage, mic in hand, ready to drop some truth bombs. The reason behind Twitter’s sudden change of heart wasn’t due to server issues or a glitch. It was Musk’s new policy, a daily tweet limit imposed on non-paying users. ๐
I repeat, a daily tweet limit for non-paying users.
So, the next time you’re chilling with your phone, scrolling through Twitter and all of a sudden, you’re hit with that dreaded “Rate Limit Exceeded” message, know that it’s not a tech failure. It’s Elon Musk, sitting in his Twitter throne room, deciding you’ve had enough Twitter for the day. ๐
But here’s the fun part – who knows what else Musk has in store for us? After this surprise move, it’s clear he’s willing to shake things up a bit. Maybe we should start preparing for a world where Twitter might no longer be the free-for-all platform we once knew. Should we be worried or excited? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Hey, speaking of tweets, did this policy have an impact on the number of cat videos on your feed?
Oh, and here’s the million-dollar question (seriously, considering Musk, it might be worth that much) – Is Twitter still Twitter if you can’t tweet freely? Let’s hear your thoughts! ๐ฅ
