Chad LoderTwitter shut itself down on the first day of Q3 and we're supposed to believe that this is about anything other than a free cash flow crunch?
Anyone check whether Google Cloud finally cut Elon off due to nonpayment?
Noah Williams@chadloder Imagine if Twitter was the reason Google killed off Google Cloud đ¤Łđ¤

@chadloder I'm getting this at the bottom of every tweet I click so đ¤ˇââď¸
Benjamin Mathis@chadloder ooh interesting , I hadn't thought about that. đ

Pretty sure he wants everyone to pay for the blue checkmark.
I wonder if anyone with a paid account is having issues.
Cherie@Empathy1st @chadloder before I lost my ability to view anything I saw a tweet, which said just that, if you donât pay you are restricted to so many views a day I think in my case it was 600. So I opened a thread that had over 600 comments and I think thatâs what maxed me out.
L@Empathy1st @chadloder blue checks are also limited, they just get a higher limit. Apparently about 1 hourâs worth of scrolling
Susan Lewis@tresantes @Empathy1st @chadloder It's like being charged for everything in the supermarket, just because you went into the shop to see if they have that brand of coffee you like.
Stephen Lawton@chadloder Musk is doing his best imitation of Trump Steaks, Trump University, Trump Vodka, Trump Taj Mahal, Trumpâs Castle, Trump Plaza Casinos, Trump Plaza Hotel, and Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts. How do you bankrupt a casino when the cards are stacked for the house? Will Twitter make it through the end of the year?
Chuckie@StephenLawton @chadloder I bet Elmo is looking at all those tfg BK and saying âIâm gettin a hell of a tax refund this year!!!â
Jared Smith@chadloder This is exactly my thinking.
Paul Murray đŽđŞ đłď¸âđ
IamWhoisMoses@chadloder I saw someone post on Twitter thatâs exactly what happened. Iâll try to find the post
Fernby Films@MDINOKC @chadloder honestly, you love to see it.
Wolleysegap@chadloder he's on the phone with customer service right now.
Alistair Hutton@chadloder twitter running on AWS Free Tier t.micro instances now.
Pendaran the Poet@chadloder Nice one. Always deeply suspicious when the announcement comes hours after the change.
âNo, look itâs a feature, not a bug! Honest..â

nadin brzezinski@chadloder @johnettesnuggs collecting. I donât take credit, just collect
smoking lamp@chadloder I take it Blue Sky is âexperiencing some difficultiesâ as well?

@chadloder @lolgop a GCP turndown, planned or otherwise, wouldnât, AFAIK, impact Twitter availability like this.
Some other profound self-own is probably the cause of this.
ewanm89@chadloder that doesn't explain rate limiting alone. That would be parts of twitter or twitter entirely woulrn't work.
Dude@chadloder this was my first thought

Neil@chadloder @chadloder Elon Musk says Twitter will temporarily limit number of posts users can view per day, citing âsystem manipulationâ (âsystem manipulationâ Is rich guy talk for getting knocked offline for not paying the bills) https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/01/thousands-of-users-report-problems-accessing-twitter.html
Dunwich Type Founders@chadloder Iâm more inclined to believe that all the smart people got laid off or quit and the remaining engineers didnât realize that the system would DDOS itself.
Maybe AWS cut them off, for not paying their bills! AWS should sue!
Ine Nai@chadloder There were news on March that they had stopped paying Amazon in an attempt to re-negotiate the contract... unsure if related, but if that's Elon's way of doing business, I wouldn't be surprised!
DougGlassArt@chadloder Are they paying any of the bills? Their office space rent is past due too. đš
