Musk has set viewing limits on the site and it has caused problems for users

Measuring Twitter Users’ Access and Implications to Google Cloud and the Trump-McMills Plan: Musk, Yahoo, DownDetector, and Twitter

A day earlier, Musk claimed that a large number of organizations were trying to get at his data and that it was affecting the real user experience.

“Verified” accounts will soon be limited to reading 8,000 posts per day and unverified accounts limited to 800 tweets per day, Musk said. The limit on new, unverified accounts is 400 per day.

The hiring of Yaccarino shows how important advertising revenue is to the business, even though we don’t know much about Twitter’s financial situation. The goal of limiting access to the site is not to create opportunities to see the ad spots that are being paid for, but to prevent Musk from seeing that.

When YouTube personality MrBeast replied, saying he was going to see how long it takes for him to look at 6,000 posts, Musk responded, “Should be less than 1 hour and 9 minutes!”

He did not mention the layoffs of more than half of the staff since taking over the company last fall. People have warned of the effects of firing so many people, and the company rehired some engineers who had been let go.

A significant outage in March was the result of a change by a single engineer. Platformer reported Twitter’s Google Cloud bill went unpaid for months until very recently, reflecting a “Deep Cuts Plan” Reuters had previously reported that sought to cut millions of dollars per day in spending on infrastructure costs.

The unnamed engineer in the MIT Technology Review interview said that after staff reductions, things will be broken more often. Things will be broken for longer periods of time. Things will be broken in more severe ways… They’ll be small annoyances to start, but as the back-end fixes are being delayed, things will accumulate until people will eventually just give up.” A site reliability engineer said in an article that he would see significant public-facing problems with the technology within six months. It has been seven.

A lot of people who tried to view, search, refresh and post content on the platform were met with an error message that read, “Rate limit exceeded” or “Cannot retrievetweet.”

The website Downdetector said that more than 7,300 people had reported a problem with accessing the social networking site. That number fell by about 1,000 reports by early afternoon.

The restrictions are in relation to the announcement that it would require users to log into an existing account on the site. He called it a temporary emergency measure because of the way several hundred organizations were handling the data.

Many users found the recent set of limitations to be a ruse to get users to pay more money in order to access a better experience onTwitter with a “verified” account.
