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 presume he thought he could make a few quid by subscription only.Musk buying twitter for $40billion odd has to be one of stupidest business decisions of all time.
Just like Sheikh Mansour did, he should buy but then hand over to people who know what they’re doing to run it for him.

That or how he’s subsequently decided to run it.

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.The minimum anyone can access is 300.

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.

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.The minimum anyone can access is 300.

Meta are releasing Threads on Thursday, a direct competitor to Twitter. Should get interesting for musk.

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.
