Verified accounts are limited to reading 6,000 posts a day, he tweeted, while unverified accounts are limited to just 600. New unverified accounts are at 300 posts a day.
This is absolute amateur hour. Why are people still trying to use Twitter.
Especially considering the way twitter counts a “view” is if the tweet shows up in your app’s viewport, at all. So simply scrolling through the timeline consumes “views” - you could run up against this limit in 10-15 minutes of scrolling.
This is what I was wondering. I don’t use Twitter so 600 sounds like a lot but I was wondering how much it actually was. Someone else said they blew through it in like 15 minutes
15 minutes if you actually read the tweets, but when this “reading limit” is actually “impression limit”, and Twitter counts an impression as a tweet just loading on your feed (I didn’t know this). About 2 minutes of continuous scrolling gets you rate limited.
Even 6000 is nothing. I remember when I used to be on the platform for hours per day, following hundreds of active users, and actively sharing to thousand of users… I’m not paying then (wasn’t an option) and I’m not paying now (not interested), but even if I did, I’d go through that in minutes!
If it’s per account, couldn’t someone that’s just absurdly dedicated to using Twitter for some reason make Alts to follow different groups of people anyway?

600 posts per day is damn nothing, yikes

It’s incredibly stupid.

And sounds like it’s implemented in a api-request=view way. I’m not sure how much requests the JS makes per view but im sure it’s more than one.

Who the fuck posts 300 tweets a day?
Edit: Nvm, I apparantly can’t read lol
No, you misunderstand - the limit is on viewing tweets.
