Twitter now limits the number of posts that users can read per day to 600 posts per day.
Elon Musk, in his latest tweet, states that verified accounts are limited to reading 6.000 posts per day, unverified accounts are limited to reading 600 posts per day, and new unverified accounts can only read 300 posts per day.
He also called these limits temporary, but history has shown that no one can know his intentions.
What the new limits will do is break the addiction of its users to Twitter. So it's highly unlikely that Twitter's motivation for implementing the limits is about addiction, and much more likely it has to do with the fact that it wants scrapers to pay $42.000 for API access.
No indication has been given of how long these "temporary" measures will be in place, but unless Twitter finds a way to prevent bots from creating content, it's hard to see restrictions on the site being eased.
The crackdown began in April, when the company disabled the search feature for users who didn't have an account. It then stated that no Twitter content could be viewed at all without an account. Although there is a solution for this.
