lol you won't even be able to read viral tweet threads or the replies. The people paying to have their replies boosted are going to looooove this.
The best part is that all those "the site functions fine after layoffs!" morons won't realize that it's precisely because of those cuts that the service can no longer handle read traffic and they have to do this.
And the best part is that tracking this still requires write traffic for read status, so he's traded cheap reads for expensive writes.
Omfg I just loaded Twitter for the first time in ages and did some casual scrolling, loading a few threads, standard stuff.
It took me 11 minutes to hit my daily cap. And that included the time I spent posting here to make fun of it.
And the UX when you hit it on reads is just that it says their own site is broken.
How to kill #Twitter in less than an hour: 1.- Make a production change on a weekend that introduces a bug that create a DDoS to itself. (https://sfba.social/@sysop408/110639474671754723) 2.- Rate limit users so they spent all the credits in seconds. 3.- Profit (?)
@Andres I'm legitimately stunned.
And of course, on a weekend too.
