@harold @ncweaver Nothing like hitting a rate limit to get you to close the app and break the addiction. 🤣 🤡

@harold @ncweaver TBF 2400 a day seems like a reasonable limit. That’s literally 100 tweets per hour. No one needs to tweet that much on one account.

But also yes. But also, real smart business plan. “Our whole thing is advertising based on engagement so let’s make people pay us to provide content to us we can sell”.
