Twitter says it couldn't tell people about rate limiting in advance | Engadget (www.engadget.com)

It seemed strange that Twitter posted this update on its business blog until the company mentioned that rate limiting has had a "minimal" effect on advertising. Many pointed out that limiting the number of tweets users could read per day would make it harder for advertisers to reach users and for Twitter to make money.

…oh, ok.

And no, I don’t really buy their excuses.

Well, of course they couldn't tell people about it in advance. Then they'd LEAVE in advance.

Elon's lying. He said advertising was as strong as ever... it's not. He said user interaction was as strong as ever... it's not. Honesty isn't the best policy for a sociopath... it's an impediment, an obstacle, an annoyance.

Good people tell the truth more often than not, even if it becomes inconvenient to them later. Elon is not a good person.

I believe the reason they couldn't tell anyone in advance is that it was yet another ludicrously incompetent seat-of-the-pants decision by business genius.
