If you thought the days of weird, annoying changes being made to Twitter were over — why? Sure, Elon Musk isn't CEO of the app anymore, but he still owns it.

Over the weekend, Musk announced that in response to "extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation" users would face "temporary" limits to the amount of tweets they are able to read on the app.

Here's the kicker, though: different types of accounts have different limits, with verified accounts at first able to read 6,000 posts a day, while unverified ones could see just 600.



The limits have since increased a number of times, but the tiered system for verified and unverified accounts remains.



Twitter users do not take kindly to Musk messing with the platform, and this most recent debacle is no exception. In case the rate limits stopped you from seeing users' reactions this weekend, we've rounded up some of the best for you below.
