@luckytran Of course, there will be so many people locked out of their accounts, including the blue ticks because reading 6000 tweets doesn't take long, that the whole platform will stop. Mind you, if it's the Google Cloud thing that people are suggesting, I guess that's what he needs to happen.
@luckytran who wants to bet the issues that twitter is experiencing (and the official reason for the limit) aren't caused by sudden "aggressive" scraping, but simply because Mr Big Brain Guy gutted the infrastructure of his own platform with his 5D chess moves...
@luckytran that’s the single most insane thing about the whole thing that happened today. I assume the first move would be to limit the amount of times that “unverified” people could tweet. But to actually make it so they can’t even read tweets is crazy.
@luckytran also, i imagine ai scrappers or whatever nonsense he's worried about will just create 1000 accounts and keep reading. he's only hurting the actual users.
@luckytran turns out it was a bug that was hammering back end systems - doing a seld-DOS.. but of course EM tries to make out its a "business move".. so far out his depth - fish have headlights
