Twitter Reading Limits

[TallTitan34]

Elon has announced unverified Twitter accounts are limited to viewing 600 posts a day and verified accounts can read 6,000. New unverified accounts can read 300.

Brilliant.

Any suggestions on where to move MUOverload to?

I heard Truth Social is pretty dope.

I just had to get an account because I could no longer view online without one. We will see how long that account lasts.

Doing a bang up job, Elon.

They tried something new, screwed it up, and now this is the temporary cover for that once they learn how to fix it in a few days or whenever, they will revert back to before.

In less than a year, his $44B purchase is valued at $15B. And his brilliant move is to artificially limit the number of ads users can see from a decreasing advertiser base? I honestly don't think anyone could be worse at this if they deliberately tried.

Who'd have imagined that cutting two-thirds of your workforce might have operational consequences.

Yup, this was definitely supposed to be a permanent fixture that backfired tremendously.

Still kinda surprised that the old employees that got laid off haven't made a platform yet.

It's going to replace Fox News

Coincidence that the 5-year long contract Twitter had with Google Cloud expired yesterday and Elon refused to renew it?

Elon eff'd up and is trying to save face.

How much does one have to pay to never have to use Twitter?

Speaking of which ... it usually takes more than two months for a particular Scooper's hot take to be proven wrong, and yet here we are.

Eloon is doing everyone a service by not forcing them to watch the pitiful ads that are remaining on Twitter.

Instagram has the most similar demographics to Twitter. That and TikTok are the only places with huge young audiences. MU fandom may be older, so FB may be a good idea? FB's demographic skews towards women though.

Lemmy and Tildes are up and coming, but they are very small and mostly Reddit clones.

Facebook is probably the right answer, but I'm partial to Reddit.

Same, but reddit is:

1- potentially going down the tubes, they just killed off their 3rd party API ecosystem just like twitter did. Things are about to get worse
2- no real mubb presence. I modded the mubb subreddit before my old account got banned for unknown reasons. Not much Marquette or mubb presence outside of /r/collegebasketball. Wrong demographic imo

OnlyFans?

It is a temporary restriction to fight the AI programs from scrapping data from Twitter. He has already increased the limit.

Give it a week or two, and it will be resolved. By Labor Day, this will be a trivia question most will have forgotten.

Who remembers the November hyperventilation that Twitter would stop working because Elon fired a bunch of staff and how everyone was supposed to rush to Masterdon (a haven for pedophiles) when they could no longer tweet?

Twitter is a haven for neo-nazis, bigots AND pedophiles

It is a haven for all of the above. It has hundreds of millions of daily users.

Too bad they can't get advertising or pay their bills

Too bad they can't get advertising or pay their bills

Twitter is purposely moving away from the advertising model. That is why they charge for Twitter Blue. Musk wants ad revenues to go to zero.

Are you looking at the drop in ad revenues to validate your political viewpoint? It has long been understood the ad revenue model is a problem for objectivity on all media platforms, no matter which side of the political aisle one is on. Kudos to Musk for trying something different (and yes, it is an open question as to whether this will work).

Question... do you view Bud Light moving away from Pride advertising and more toward "traditional" advertising as a repudiation of the Pride movement? Or does a fall in ad revenues only work one way for you?

All platforms must reduce their reliance on advertising, especially Big Pharma advertising.

Only New Zealand and the US allow Pharma advertising, as everyone else understands the harmful effects of pushing drugs direct to consumers. In the US, the drug dealers are in control, and we celebrate went the drug dealers boycott someone we don't like from a political viewpoint.
