Elon Musk made two important changes on Twitter following the introduction of an ad revenue-sharing program. He deleted a policy that made certain profiles ineligible for monetization, including those featuring animals or fictional characters. Musk also promised to increase the rate limit for verified users, allowing them to interact with their followers more freely. Additionally, he announced that ad revenue would soon be shared from profile page views, doubling payouts, but only views from verified users would count to prevent bot manipulation. These changes aim to incentivize content creators to stay on Twitter amidst competition from Meta's Threads.

Elon Musk Implements Twitter Rate Limits to Combat System Manipulation

Elon Musk has announced temporary limits on the number of posts users can read per day on Twitter due to "extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation."

Elon Musk Implements Twitter 'Rate Limit' and Viewing Restrictions

Elon Musk has implemented strict rate limits on Twitter, restricting the number of tweets users can view in a day due to "extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation." Initially, verified accounts could read 6,000 posts per day, while unverified accounts could read 600 posts daily. Musk later increased the limits to 8,000 posts per day for verified accounts, 800 for unverified accounts, and 400 for new unverified accounts. The restrictions have caused frustration among users, who are now encountering messages such as "Rate limit exceeded." Musk has not specified when the limits will be lifted.
