Twitter got stupider by FenekkuKitsune

Today I learned that Elon has made yet more stupid decisions for Twitter. PSA to any and all artists that see this, Twitter is NO LONGER A VALID SITE FOR ART!


To explain:
Elon refused to pay Google's cloud networking contract, apparently, which has severely limited Twitter's storage usage. This is why Postybirb was blocked from using Twitter's API, and it is also the reason Twitter stopped loading for me yesterday. Why? Because if you don't have Twitter Blue you can only see 300 posts a day. 3000 if you do, 300 if you only just got it. So for someone like me who has a LOT of artists I've followed on Twitter, I can no longer see all those posts.


This change thoroughly shafts artists and followers, because artists post more than one post a day including non-art posts. So even if you follow less than 300 people, you're not going to see all the posts. Especially if you browse Twitter for more than just your follows. Hell, this means me checking accounts that follow me to verify they're not bots is taking up the amount of posts I can see.


So I repeat; TWITTER IS NO LONGER A VALID SITE FOR ART DUE TO LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF POSTS USERS CAN SEE A DAY. I mean, to be real, it never was a valid art site. Just something to use. But not it's not even good as a social media site. You can't scroll or browse, and you can barely even see posts from people you follow.

    Yeah, the guy who runs it is doing it on purpose. And I'm glad I never got a Twitter. And it's worse because you have to get an account to view profiles now.

      It's never been a good site, Elon just made everything 20x worse and removed what features Artists were able to use and replaced them with "Hurr durr get money"
