In the early morning of July 1, Elon Musk, founder of Tesla and director of Twitter, said that in order to combat extreme data scraping and system manipulation, Twitter has adopted some temporary reading restrictions. This caused an uproar among people in the currency circle who are addicted to information.

Musk sets daily Twitter read limit

Musk initially said that in order to combat extreme data scraping and system manipulation, Twitter has adopted some temporary restrictions:

  1. Verified accounts can view 6,000 posts a day

  2. 600 articles for unverified accounts

  3. The number of newly added unverified accounts is 300

At present, it seems that even though the account is being verified, many people have reported that the reading limit has been reached, but Musk also changed the policy soon.

Musk’s latest Twitter reading limit: at least 1,000

After a burst of criticism from the community, Musk said that he had changed to

  1. Verified accounts can view 10,000 posts a day

  2. Unverified account has 1000 articles

  3. The number of newly added unverified accounts is 500

Musk also tweeted that it was ironic that he reached the reading limit because he read many tweets complaining about the reading limit.

Now to 10k, 1k & 0.5k

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ): The number of comments should be limited

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) also said that the number of views should not be limited, but the number of posts and comments should. No one posts more than 800 a day, except maybe himself. Not long after he finished speaking, Zhao Changpeng said that maybe there would be an upper limit on the number of comments.

Viewing should not be limited. Posting and commenting should be. No humans post more than 800 posts per day, maybe except me.

Twitter continues to try to increase profits

Musk has expressed his determination to increase Twitter's profits. After launching Twitter's payment system for verified accounts, it has added many new features that are only available with verified accounts: a subscription profit mechanism. In addition, posts and comments will have higher exposure due to account verification.
