How did we get to 55k tweets being a nightmare for any social media platform?

A quick search got me to twitter stats from 2013 when people were posting 200 billion tweets per year. Thats 5-6 orders of magnitude more. You don't get a 10000x improvement just by federating and hosting multiple nodes.

The discussion here was about archiving each user's tweets on their own client device - this is where the 55k was brought up as a problem. I still think it's a low number, even if it includes plenty of images.

With a decent amount of images and videos this can easily be 100+GB. Even if it's a fraction of that, not something I want to sync down to my device.
