Only people who pay for Twitter can see more than 600 posts per day

Elon Musk blamed AI companies for new “temporary” limitations on Twitter access. Verified accounts can read up to 6,000 posts per day, while unverified users are limited to seeing 600 posts per day.

    It’s not a decision I think - I twitter has now tried to move away from AWS/Google Cloud(?) for its hosting but now the bill is due. Elon doesn’t want to pay the full billion dollar bill and AWS/Google Cloud(?) has rate limited them because Elon is stiffing them.

    So they have to rate limit the users to be able to use the AWS request bottleneck, while implementing that, they DDOSed themselves:
