Are you kidding? Twitter has limits on how much you can read now. It's useless for me.

I don't have a twitter account. Do you regularly hit the 1,000 tweet view limit? That's over 83 tweets an hour, for 12 hours.

Scrolling through 1,000 tweets in your timeline will take a lot less time than you imagine.

Clicking into a thread will use up those views really fast. Could easily hit 200 views in 5 minutes.

So, you hit the limit often?
I'm trying to find if there's anyone who regularly experiences hitting the limit.

I'm pretty sure the limit was one of his experiments that he's since rolled back on. It may even have been an emergency measure to mitigate the worst effects of another bug, but I'm not sure if he's ever been openly honest about any of this. There was certainly a weekend where the limit was imposed, then raised, then—I think—raised again... and I don't think we've really heard anything about it since.

Twitter doesn't track your eyeballs to see how many you literally read. It's how many has been sent to your device.

I consider myself a pretty frequent Twitter user. I don't pay and I've never run into the daily limit.

I had hit the rate limit a few trimes when it was new, but never since then. I think the limit has been either removed or vastly reduced from that experience. I don't see any of the people I follow complaining about it either.
