If people can only access a certain number of tweets each day, how are they supposed to be told how to think and how will they know for sure what offends them?

The minimum anyone can access is 300. Who reads that many tweets a day? And that is just the new users, longer term users can do 600, and paid users 6000. If anyone exceeds those limits they have bigger problems than Musk.

I think it affects people who have the App who follow quite a few accounts because tweets would pop up all the time without necessarily being looked at.
For those of us who don’t have the app but just occasionally look on the website from when there’s a link from here or another media site the 300 limit won’t be a problem.

Anyone who scrolls through it regularly.
 
The other weird thing about this is that presumably people signed up for a Twitter subscription on the basis that they'll be able to use it as much as they want. And now they're putting in artificial restrictions in place. That's the problem with a paid-for service. Once people are paying for it, there's an expectation that it'll work all the time or you'll provide refunds. And what about advertisers. Again, presumably signed contracts based on the number of people who will see their adverts, only to find that Twitter is deliberately restricting people from seeing them.

What counts as a Tweet though? Do you have to click on it or just scroll past? Do replies count? Because in that case, 300 would be easy to 'read' in 15 minutes.

It includes adverts, tweets and retweets, as well as all replies to any tweets you open. 300/600 gets hit very quickly. especially if you follow anyone even remotely spammy ( bands pushing a new album, movie directors pushing a new film etc etc). if you follow 100 people ( very easy to do ) 300/600 is nothing.

Limits seem to be dropped mind you.
 
Meta is set to release a rival to Twitter on Thursday, a social media app called Threads it describes as "Instagram's text-based conversation app."

The new service, which is available for pre-order in Apple's App Store and will be released on July 6, has a similar appearance to Twitter, with screenshots of the service showing messages with replies from other users. One screenshot of the app indicates that Instagram users will be able to immediately click to follow the same accounts on Threads, which could help users quickly build large follower bases.
