Such a click bait title.

Read rate limits are a thing too. It helps reduce scraping and keep your services online. But, I agree, the title is clickbait and there is a huge difference between limiting requests to something like 60 per minute and 500 tweets per day.

The issue with Twitter rate-limits is that 600 tweets per day is doable in just 2 or 3 minutes of scrolling. Well within human limits.
