I don't know how they are figuring the rate limit because I got the notice at 8AM and locked out of everything. I thought I was banned for an "upsetting comment" I made. There is no way I viewed 600 tweets by 8 am... This is stupid and it won't last long...

What is their definition of "view"? Is it an actual click on a tweet, or just scrolling your feed?

It would appear as though a "view" is an actual click or interaction on a tweet. You can "view" as many tweets as you want still on your feed.

I did a quick scroll "viewing" at least 600 tweets. I'd wager 20% of those were from people whining about Elon, and another 20%+ were ads.....which according to those same people Elon wasn't supposed to have because he "ran off all of Twitter's advertisers".

There's a segment of people who have been trying to kill off Twitter ever since Elon bought the joint. It ain't dead yet, motherfrickers, no matter how many times you post that dead Twitter bird meme.

ETA: It has also been fun seeing all the big corporations who "suspended their ad campaigns" on Twitter due to Elon come crawling back. Turns out, that virtue was only worth signaling whilst people were watching.

Why limit what you can view?

To stop AI from scraping for free

If this is so then Twitter is essentially down and has been for a few hours.

I certainly haven't clicked for interacted with 600 tweets today but I can't see any new tweets at all. Getting the error or "cannot retrieve tweets at this time. Please try again later"

Same here. I think they are just limiting traffic while they fix things on the backend.

It is still rolling for me, and I scrolled until both thumbs were tired.

It has to be just scrolling. I haven’t clicked a single tweet and have been limited.

My Twitter must be special, then.

ETA: Uh oh......I just viewed another tweet that was 12 seconds old.

ETAA: Yep, just "viewed" another one that was 6 seconds old.

ETAAA: Add another. That one was 8 seconds old.

600 tweets per day



Can a younger person here please explain why this would be done. I am older and grumpy but what would be the purpose/benefit to viewing 600 tweets in one day?
