Elon Musk has announced that users now need an account to read tweets and that paid "verified" access to
Blue is needed to see more than 600 posts per day. He continues to blame AI companies for these new restrictions, as he claims they scrape vast amounts of data. What does this mean for businesses and organizations? In this article, we discuss the impact of these changes and some possible solutions.
The new restrictions mean that unverified accounts can only see 600 posts per day, while new unverified accounts are limited to 300 posts per day. Verified accounts still have access to up to 6,000 posts per day, likely through the Twitter Blue subscription or verification by Elon Musk himself. These restrictions could significantly affect businesses and organizations that use Twitter as a key communication and marketing channel.
Elon Musk has indicated that the limits could be raised in the future. He has announced that verified users will soon be able to read up to 8,000 tweets per day, while unverified accounts will be able to view a maximum of 800 tweets per day, and new unverified accounts will be limited to 400 tweets per day. Although these increases have not yet been implemented, they may provide some relief for users who wish to read more tweets daily.
The new paywalls for reading tweets and the restrictions on the number of posts have implications for users, businesses, and organizations. Elon Musk points to AI startups as the cause of these changes, but there are also other factors, such as Twitter's financial situation and the impact of staff reductions on the platform's stability. It is important to stay informed about further developments and any solutions that may be implemented to enhance the user experience.
