    Thing is, when you get rate limited at lets say 7pm, and you refresh next morning 9am first time, surely thats already 600 tweets that you then catch up on in that timeframe after only refreshing once

    How many minutes of browsing is 600 tweets?

    I personally can’t even use twitter anymore because I don’t have an account.

    Removing public access to your content is a surefire way to lose the normies they rely on so much for advertising income.

      I don’t use Twitter, but it really can’t be much, a single phone screen can hold like 4-6 tweets. So that’s 100 phone lengths

      Scrolling through social media it’s totally reasonable to hit like a phone screen of scrolling every few seconds
