Elon Musk blamed AI companies for new “temporary” limitations on Twitter access. Verified accounts can read up to 6,000 posts per day, while unverified users are limited to seeing 600 posts per day.
He really thinks people want to pay $8 USD a month to scroll through bots, ads, and trolls all day long.
New Reddit can give you the same experience for free. If you want an endless feed of bot garbage, there are competitors doing it for free.
I feel like the limits were chosen to force twitter addicts to upgrade to blue.
6,000/day isn’t that much since I heard it counts all replies, too.
I think this might also be related to their Google Cloud bills and inability to move off that platform fast enough. Now they don’t want to have to pay for the usage.
I’ve only ever been the low person on the tech company totem pole–but it’s certainly an interesting realization that even I could have foreseen many of these issues he’s been having these past few days myself.
What’s the opposite of imposter syndrome? Because that’s when you have the skills but still feel like you shouldn’t be there.
What’s it called when you know your skills aren’t great, but you’re also achingly aware you’d do better than that other guy over there?
I hope more and more people wake up to how generational wealth gives people very significant opportunities compared to coming from a family of no wealth/connections.
Being rich is far from a measure of merit in out hyper-capitalistic culture and the disparity between what people deserve and what they get is only going to continue getting worse.
Elon Musk is our new poster boy for absurdly undeserved wealth and there are still far too many who will argue in his defence, from either their position of lucky birth or even from their own delusional poverty.
I mean his from Africa, I wouldnt believe if his ancestors owned a couple plantations down there which ended up becoming what funded Musk in the first place. There’s a lot of dirty money in the pockets of billionaires.

You have to be so candide to believe in this. Scrappers didn’t appeared out of the blue yesterday, if it was to fight it the company would have warn the users about the coming changes.
It’s obvious that’s it’s an emergency change because of him not paying Google Cloud while trying to push for Twitter Blue.
Blaming AI companies as a reason for making stupid decisions, where have I heard this before?
