Verified accounts are limited to reading 6,000 posts a day, he tweeted, while unverified accounts are limited to just 600. New unverified accounts are at 300 posts a day.

This is absolute amateur hour. Why are people still trying to use Twitter.

Who the fuck posts 300 tweets a day?

Edit: Nvm, I apparantly can't read lol

No, you misunderstand - the limit is on viewing tweets.

600 posts per day is damn nothing, yikes

Especially considering the way twitter counts a “view” is if the tweet shows up in your app’s viewport, at all. So simply scrolling through the timeline consumes “views” - you could run up against this limit in 10-15 minutes of scrolling.

It’s incredibly stupid.
