Twitter’s New DM Limits: Musk’s War Against Bots or a Smooth Cash Grab? πΈπ¦
TL;DR: Twitter’s putting a cap on your DM sliding unless you’re verified or ready to shell out some cash for Twitter Blue! π«ππ
Want to slide into those DMs? Not so fast! Twitter’s bringing out the velvet ropes and putting a bouncer in front of your messaging game. Starting this Friday, unless you’re rocking that swanky blue badge (verified, who?) or willing to dive into your pockets for Twitter Blue, you might find your DM game restricted. π ββοΈ
Now, they’ve been pretty hush-hush about the exact number of DMs you can send. But here’s the juicy tidbit: if you want that unlimited DM access, it’s time to get familiar with Twitter Blue. A subscription will set you back by Rs 900 a month if you’re in India. But hey, isn’t unlimited access to sliding into DMs worth the price? Or is it? π€π€
So, why this sudden move? Enter Elon Musk. After duking it out in the bidding wars of 2022 and emerging as Twitter’s new overlord, Musk has been on a mission. And itβs not about launching rockets or making electric cars. His grand declaration? “Defeat the spam bots or die trying!β Pretty dramatic, right? But is this just a noble quest to clean up the Twitter streets, or is there a sneaky monetizing angle hiding in the shadows? ππ€¨
For ages, spam and bots have been like that uninvited guest at Twitter’s party, and now Muskβs decided it’s time to show them the exit. But will limiting DMs for the everyday tweeter actually stop these digital party crashers? Or is it just a clever tactic to get you to empty your wallet for Twitter Blue? ππ
Letβs take a stroll down memory lane. Twitter has seen its fair share of ups and downs. From hashtag revolutions to meme marathons, we’ve seen it all. And through it all, DMs have been our trusty sidekicks. Remember that time you shot your shot in the DMs and it actually went well? Or that time you connected with someone across the globe over shared memes? Ah, good times. But if Twitter Blue becomes the ticket to those good times, would it be worth it? πβ€οΈ

And here’s a cheekier one – Is Musk truly our digital knight in shining armor, or just a savvy businessman spotting another revenue stream? What do you think? ππ§π‘π€
