Feel like admitting there’s a read limit on blue ticks was a bad idea too

We wanted to understand why Elon Musk’s plan to severely engagement on Twitter makes sense for Twitter’s bottom line. So we talked to three unvaccinated RFK Jr. supporters at a Tesla charging station in Menlo Park.— New York Times Pitchbot (@DougJBalloon) July 1, 2023

yeah it’s not lookin good, decent chance that my last tweet is tweeting “I need a sugar daddy” at some bluecheck dipshit who insists that Musk has vastly improved the Twitter experience.
― JoeStork, Saturday, 1 July 2023 21:01 (ten months ago) link
Shocked the limiting announcement didn't include 'blue checks don't count against views' - like, an actual reason for people (who want their posts seen) to subscribe to Twitter Blue instead of a measure that actively diminishes how often they're seen?

Fwiw I think the google bill is unlikely to be the culprit. They use google cloud for some internal systems. Twitter dot com runs on prem.

Unexpected behavior or bugs triggered by truly massive changes to the api being shipped on a holiday weekend seems more likely https://waxy.org/2023/07/twitter-bug-causes-self-ddos-possibly-causing-elon-musks-emergency-blocks-and-rate-limits-its-amateur-hour/

its a very silly idea that web scrapping no matter how EXTREME could constitute a significant portion of a huge site like twitters traffic
― lag∞n, Saturday, 1 July 2023 22:14 (ten months ago) link
yup

i do like that phrase tho extreme web scraping might have to get into that
― lag∞n, Saturday, 1 July 2023 22:16 (ten months ago) link
it’s very easy to throttle at a limit where it creates negligible load. that’s who’s it’s worked for 15 years. Presumably musk just feels like this is his data and there should be literally zero scraping load. So he asked his h1bs to ship api changes that break basically every client in a way that causes load to explode. genius stuff.
