    Twitter limits number of tweets users can read

    By Staff Writer on July 2, 2023 Social Media, Twitter

    Twitter is limiting the number of tweets a user can read in a day. On Saturday, Elon Musk tweeted that the social media giant was applying temporary limits to the number of tweets a user can read so as to address extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation.

    He said that verified accounts are limited to reading 6,000 posts per day while unverified account holders can only read 600 posts per day. New unverified accounts are limited to 300 posts per day.

    To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits:

    – Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day
    – Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day
    – New unverified accounts to 300/day

    — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 1, 2023

    Later, he increased the limits to 10,000 posts for verified accounts, 1,000 for unverified accounts and 500 for new unverified accounts

    Now to 10k, 1k & 0.5k

    — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 1, 2023

    Though Musk remarked that this exercise was to limit data scraping and system manipulation, he did not state who was doing it. He had however stated some time ago that hundreds of organizations or more were scraping Twitter data “extremely aggressively”, impacting user experience. Musk is attributing responsibility to companies that are utilizing data to train large language models (LLMs), like the ones powering artificial intelligence

    So it would seem that these limitations are to put an end to this poor user experience. This development is coming a day after Twitter started preventing “outsiders” from accessing tweets without a registered account.

    According to the outage tracking website Downdetector.com, Saturday morning witnessed Twitter experiencing an outage that affected thousands of users.
