Re: Tell HN: Twitter switched temporarily to rate limited mode
#13Another master stroke of genius from this first principles maverick. Everything in every field is so simple for him, it's a wonder every one else has been just too stupid to try these ideas before. Horribly mismanaged Twitter that was before Elon failing to the tune of around break even is now going to have hundreds of millions of paid blue checks for sure
He's trying to get more people to commit to giving Twitter $8/month. I'm not sure if it's going to work because I suspect people will just change their browsing habits and continue not paying. Next CEO will have to figure out how to continue getting more advertising dollars to continue paying for the servers and the bandwidth.

#14All these Twitter Blue subscribers who thought they could buy views and engagement must be thrilled that they're now competing for a very limited resource

#15I refuse to believe that Twitter is so hammered by scrapers that it can’t even serve text content.
Re: Tell HN: Twitter switched temporarily to rate limited mode
#16600 posts/day... seriously? I'll exceed that limit in 10 minutes(I probably browse tweets like 1 post/second in my native language, Japanese).

I don't think it's about servers getting hammered so much as it's about AI causing them to rethink the value of their data, then deciding user hostility is the best way to extract said value
Re: Tell HN: Twitter switched temporarily to rate limited mode
#18It's a brilliant plan, AI means the data is more valuable (for today at least), users generate the data, so punish the users until they flee and... profit?
Even for Musk, even for a debt-ridden Twitter with no hope of survival, this is impressively terrible.

#19I can't use Twitter today after about an hour of browsing my feed this morning. Which is hilarious because it's the first day I stopped using Reddit.

6000 posts/day is still nothing because I probably consume faster than 1 post/second on Twitter.
