this guy is seriously not suggesting what i think he's suggesting, is he?

rasok,
cait,

@ChrisPirillo what a plus for advertisers, a huge reduction of who can see their ads 🤣

gravitysrainbow,

@ChrisPirillo It's a sure way to kill Twitter.

@ChrisPirillo

To be fair, I do think reading 600 posts a day on Twitter is probably 600 posts a day too many.

Helchose,

@ChrisPirillo While I can still see my feed, it's pretty much all comments about this situation now.

@ChrisPirillo

It's because he try to run Twitter on a single RaspberryPi 4

friendwells,

@ChrisPirillo It only takes about half an hour to run up an “exceeded your limit” of 600 views cutoff.

A ‘Genius at work’ strategy to maximize advertising revenue! Eliminate doom scrolling and power users. Now no one will see the ads sellers purchased. El*n, what a mook!

NerdRage42,

@ChrisPirillo he has inadvertently created the weird ending of Ready, Player One where they limit usage in the virtual space.

BenAdamsonDXB,

@ChrisPirillo It seems to me that he’s suggesting we either pay up or leave Twitter. As is evidenced by the fact that I just set up my new Mastodon account, I’m leaning towards the latter.

@ChrisPirillo what is surprising you?

chrisk,

@ChrisPirillo it feels a lot like “how do we make this seem intentional”

orenwatson,

@ChrisPirillo
Ppl i know are getting "rate limit exceeded" messages when they scroll down too far. my expectations were low but holy moly😂​

turvanen,

@ChrisPirillo Is this what he means by extreme levels of data scraping? 😂

“Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.

This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.”

game_whisperer,

@ChrisPirillo Is an advert a post? That’s me down to 3 a day.

perrygrossman,

@ChrisPirillo wha is musk up to now?

Manzella,

@ChrisPirillo The days of free social media are dwindling sadly.

lovesdaryl,

@ChrisPirillo Funnily, as a regular account I cannot read anything beyond first posts in threads, no replies, not even the posts I myself replied to when I get a like on my reply. Completely broken.

Gerwin030,

@ChrisPirillo Create a lot of users just for reading?

ByteMyTek,

@ChrisPirillo It just doesn't make sense. I get sometimes we have to put the phone down and live in reality but it just feels like it goes against the principal of what Elon was narrating from the beginning 🤦

OttersDangerDen,

@ChrisPirillo There was an interesting post where people were bumped from the Twitter Community because they had blocked elon previously.

matt,

@ChrisPirillo there’s no way this is real lmaoooo this man’s stupidity is going to cure my twitter addiction at last

mikkergp,

@ChrisPirillo thinking about how inflated the view counts are I wonder even when “read” is registered? Like if I load the page and don’t scroll down does it count me for one read or r 10 read

@ChrisPirillo Oh, boy!

@ChrisPirillo I’m in the 300 camp then. I’ll pause my use of Twitter for the foreseeable future.
