"Elon Musk's Twitter Rate Limits Cause Record High Traffic and Advertiser Concerns"
TL;DR Summary
Twitter has faced criticism for implementing rate limiting without prior notice, limiting the number of tweets users could read per day. The company claims that providing advance notice would have allowed bad actors to alter their behavior to evade detection. Twitter implemented the rate limit to combat bots and other harmful actors, preventing them from manipulating conversations and scraping public data. While the move has had a minimal effect on advertising, it has disrupted user experience and led to the release of an exclusive, improved version of TweetDeck for verified accounts.
