Where was that? I just went to the movies for the first time in years, and bought 5 adult “premium seating” tickets for CAD$91.80, taxes in.

$16.25 each

That would be the most incredible thing if Elon’s plan was just to destroy Twitter from the inside. Pipe dream I know.

must get money to pay cloud service, man.

I don’t know how much does popcorn etc costs in US theaters but here is India, in multiplexes, popcorn costs more than the price of a single ticket.

Why? Who reads over 6000 tweets a day?

Arodg25 ,

It’s not for users, it’s to stop data scraping by AI companies they use for training.

Exactly, so who cares if some bots stop working? Not the users.

Bots and people scrolling a lot.

300 tweets is nothing, so essentially new users are limited to very casual reading.

Don't forget, that just clicking/tapping on a tweet opens the discussions about that tweet which in turn are each separate tweets. So opening a single, controversial tweet you actually want to read, might easily result in 20 read tweets as far as the API is concerned.

The other thing is tweet embeds in articles.

You can be watching a BBC live text page and have 20-30 tweet embeds go by over the duration of a football match.

300 is low enough you could feasibly read enough news and hit the limits without even directly visiting Twitter

Yeah…nope

Don’t forget another $20-$30 for popcorn and drinks!

ABCDE ,

That’s why you take your own snacks or just do without. Tickets are very rarely these prices.

It’s hard to get away with taking your own popcorn. Especially if you also need a microwave.

To be honest, I barely use Twitter anymore. Today I installed the patch to hide ADS too, just because.

Where do I need to go to find this hide ads patch?

Exactly right, but I don’t know why, I needed an older version of Twitter, as the latest available wasn’t patching correctly.

Let’s put limits on how many things you can view at the same time as putting a sign up gate to see anything. How do you think your platform got any users to begin with? It’s almost like he has no idea how anything he’s making decisions on actually works but that would be an unfair assumption? /s

Well good thing there are alternatives out there that are growing like Bluesky and Mastadon

How fast can one really read 6000 post ? Assuming you read 100 post a minute, is that 1 hour of usage before getting cut off for the day? I dont really have a feeling how many posts a normal twitter user would go through in a minute.

Looks like he’s changed his mind pffft what a derk

Twitter doesn't want to pay the Google Cloud bill lol

Kissaki ,

Before Elon Musk's takeover of the social media platform last year, Twitter signed a multi-year contract with Google related to fighting spam and protecting accounts, among other things, the report said.

Sounds like it's not about hosting their infrastructure but tangential services.

Of course Elon Musk thinks he can anti-spam and protect accounts better by himself and without external cost.

I'd love to see cloud hosters refusing to work with Elon Musk because of all the unpaid bills stuff.
