"Extreme levels of data scraping" my ass. This is probably meant to reduce server costs because Elon put a huge hole in this boat and now he does a very loud "look-what-you-made-me-do" scream. And what on earth would "system manipulation" exactly mean? Sounds like some pseudo-profound bullshit.
That sounds like every single public statement he's ever made.
And people keep falling for it. It will be a happy day when/if I figure out why people fall for this horseshit so much and how to overcome it.
Most likely attempt to force people to pay if you ask me. Paid users have significantly higher limits according to him and I wouldn't be surprised if they are not implemented for paying customers. Others have a casually low limit which can be reached easily.
For me, the biggest mistake he made was put the signup wall without an initial reading limit of 1-10 tweets. Tweets are used as citation by journalists in news articles because people use it as an official platform and many journalists use it to report on what's happening to a fairly large audience of followers. This is only one example where the signup wall ruins it all. You can't even go in to read a single tweet. However, look at Medium. I despise it on a personal level due to the quality reduction it caused, but at least it only shows the paywall after your 1sth/3rd/10th article. At least it provides a window to your website from the internet. Elon Musk has slain that dragon too now, and all the windows to look through have been boarded up. He has walled himself and all Twitter users in.
