This is an attempt of someone shortsighted trying to play the long run. If you think bots are the reason for this, you are wrong. Limits are carefully chosen so that they severely hinder non-paying users. Musk is neither good at solving issues nor is he good at planning things. This is his attempt to force more people to buy Twitter Blue.
If you are running a bot or 7, paying 8$ is nothing.
That's so dumb lol. Reading 600 tweets is like an hour of scrolling. What's the point in running a communication platform if people can't even get the message.
I'm quite shocked Elon would implement a policy that is counter to the purpose of twitter... As controversial as it is, doomscrolling is probably twitter's biggest busines
Incompetent Narcissism is the term I've used for Musk and others who think they are brilliant, but in reality just aren't. But, they have an insatiable desire to be seen as brilliant and the easiest way to do that is to have crazy ideas that, because they are crazy, others don't have. Sometimes those ideas pan out and they are seen as brilliant ... and that really resonates for them. Most of the time those crazy ideas absolutely fail ... they externalize the cause in those cases. The real damage comes when these Incompetent Narcissists have the money and/or power/influence to make it happen. Musk and Trump are prime examples of this.
Musk never wanted to buy Twitter. So he's going to run it into the ground but never say it was his fault, Twitter just had an unsustainable business model.
BlueSky and Meta's Twitter clone will likely be what most people will migrate to. Haven't seen or heard as much about people going to Mastodon though.
Let me get this straight… paying verified members have limits on how many tweets they can read
This only makes sense when you understand that he’s intentionally trying to destroy Twitter.

I've never had an interest in twitter. Just not something I could see the point of myself. But it sure is popcorn inducing watching Musk speedrun it into the ground.
Quite curious with the timing of it all, it's like a period of change where most things turn to the worse for apparently no reason.
My completely unfounded and speculative pet theory is that when casual punters tried to read Reddit using their favourite 3rd Party app, and couldn’t, they went to use Twitter instead.
Since Twitter has been haemorrhaging regular users all year, and trying to cut costs, their diminished infrastructure couldn’t handle it, causing Elon to panic and release his policy change.
