    Verified accounts are limited to reading 6,000 posts a day, he tweeted, while unverified accounts are limited to just 600. New unverified accounts are at 300 posts a day.

    This is absolute amateur hour. Why are people still trying to use Twitter.

        No, you misunderstand - the limit is on viewing tweets.

        Especially considering the way twitter counts a “view” is if the tweet shows up in your app’s viewport, at all. So simply scrolling through the timeline consumes “views” - you could run up against this limit in 10-15 minutes of scrolling.

        It’s incredibly stupid.

          This is what I was wondering. I don’t use Twitter so 600 sounds like a lot but I was wondering how much it actually was. Someone else said they blew through it in like 15 minutes

            And sounds like it’s implemented in a api-request=view way. I’m not sure how much requests the JS makes per view but im sure it’s more than one.
