Rather than provide a better experience for paying blue tick virgins....Elon's goal seems to be to make it worse for those who remain unverified and hope they will jump over. Alternatively, it could be that we have now moved into a new finical Quarter of the year (Q3) and Twitter have no funds to pay its cloud vendors, so they have to cut usage substantially. Regardless.....another masterstoke from the genius that is Musk It does seem to be just scrolling though a thread is enough. I looked at the trending #Elon tweets and just paged down, now I'm limited 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Surely his advertisers will be seething if they go from ten million views to a few thousand every day? Can't they sue him? That'd be a laugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 52 minutes ago, Mackie The Staggie said: Depends upon what considered a 'read' and what's happening. Tend to only use Twitter to keep up to date with certain events (County games when on TV, major sporting events or breaking news events). So if I refresh my feed during a major event and get 50 new tweets, does that mean I've had 50 new 'reads'.....or do I need to click on the tweet for it to be a 'read' Also, considering how ingrained Twitter is to major events, it's almost risky to get it limited with a nondescript 600 limit (now moved to 800 because Elon's panicking a bit) It seems to be just scrolling your timeline that counts as reading them. Even if you go down then back up it counts the tweets as being viewed again. You also can't use the search function, or follow hashtags, as it generally takes you past the limit of viewable tweets. Its effectively now a dead site until they remove restrictions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you still lose out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Most advertisers seem to be those middle men shite called Twiz, Hilp or Grut hawking shite out of a Chinese supermarket. I don’t believe they even exist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Ironically, Musk didn’t even want to buy twitter. He shot his mouth off with a ridiculously overpriced bid, then withdrew the offer when it was actually accepted. The shareholders dragging him to court was the only reason the sale went through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
