I read that Elon Musk reduced the amount of tweets that a non verified account can read each day
To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits:
- Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day
- Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day
- New unverified accounts to 300/day

So I thought, why not talk a bit about Twitter after Elon Musk acquired it? From what I understand, immediately after the acquisition, Twitter downloads spiked and it experienced a 42% growth. However, that was probably due to curiosity and the new air Elon brought to the table. But after many months, Elon bought Twitter for $44 billion, and according to estimations from Fidelity, it is now worth around $15 billion. That is a significant drop, which is not good.
Regarding my personal user experience, I must say it is a lot worse than before. Yes, the blue mark and the $8 fee for verification are helping the company create more revenue, but for me, it has made things more complicated. Now, anyone can become a scammer or create a misleading account, so you can't trust the checkmark as an indicator of a verified account.
The worst part, for me, is that my timeline now shows tweets from people I don't even follow and don't care to see. If I want to keep the accounts I want to read in my feed, I have to click the notification button because I will almost never see them otherwise.
Many believed that Elon will save twitter and make it a true free speech platform that will put users first but twitter is a business and the first thing Elon will want is to make profit and of course push his own agenda.
