Mr. Musk is up to something. He’s limited the number of tweets that you can read in a day. Actually, it’s more like 300. That’s a lot, and if you’re one of these people then you’re clocking up some serious screen time. Unless, of course, you’re a bot. This limits the actions you can do. Hopefully, this strategy will pick out the posts that are most human, or just limit the content that we’re seeing. It may also devalue the limits of the platform depending on the quality of content that’s viewed. If you’re a subscriber, you can double your read tweets, and you can actually edit your own instead of deleting them and reposting with the edits that you wanted in the first place. But that’s monetising the platform completely. I can’t help the feeling that that there’s some philanthropist logic to encourage people to stay away from their screens, but if he’s the only one doing it then all he's encouraging is for people to move to another platform.
