Depressed Musk, he started to battle with netizens again. Take a look at any social networking site, and be like at a glance:

Musk finally killed Twitter!

Musk set up a new rule: If you don’t log in, you won’t show it. Afterwards, Twitter was directly destroyed, and until now there are still users who cannot log in…

So Musk has three emergency speed limits: unverified users can only browse 600 posts.

As a result, instead of solving the problem, it directly blasted the majority of users.

Every topic is related to the collapse of Twitter. As for its “substitute” Mastodon, more than 26,000 new accounts are added in a day.

And Musk didn’t take it seriously, and said in a weird way:

Ironically, the browsing restrictions were caused by complaining about them.

Musk blamed all this on AI companies prostitution data. In fact, some netizens think this is one of the ways Musk tried to make money after taking over Twitter.

After all, Musk, who worked hard, was recently revealed to be suffering from depression and is taking drugs to resist.

“Musk killed Twitter”

Twitter users have witnessed this magical scene in the past few hours due to the long-term interruption of the Twitter service:

8378ed62b3350fde664c93cd9aadbbf0.png

According to different levels of users, the number of visits to blog posts is limited:

Unverified users can only see 600 posts per day; new accounts can only see 300; verified new users can only see 6,000 posts per day.

(The verified user may be a Blue subscriber, granted by the organization, or given by Musk himself)

Such restrictions were changed three times in just a few hours. As a result, the server interruption has not been alleviated, and it is estimated that tens of thousands of users have been affected, and there are still users who cannot log in.

The users who were using it were also quickly restricted, and finally succeeded in angering the majority of netizens to bluntly say: Musk killed Twitter.

In this regard, Musk reposted a tweet of his imitation account: I did this to do good things for the world. Get these twitter addicts out there.

Regarding the reasons for the large-scale global interruption of Twitter, Musk did not explain too much.

Some netizens said that this must be directly related to Twitter’s new regulations.

Just the day before, Musk announced a temporary restriction on Twitter’s anonymous access: If you don’t log in, you won’t see it. And complain by the way, almost all AI companies are grabbing data like crazy.

So the developers left bitterly, “and dropped a grenade.”

A developer of mastodon discovered that Twitter itself was conducting a DDoS attack-sending 10 requests to itself per second, trying to obtain some unclickable content.

This may happen to be due to the regulation that “you can only jump to the login page if you do not log in to the account”, which leads to a large number of useless requests, and the server traffic is overloaded.

Meanwhile, reports of outages on Twitter have peaked over the past day.

DownDetector, a website that tracks outages in online services, said it had logged more than 7,300 reports of problems.

The Internet addicted teenagers have been driven crazy in the past two days, so a batch of new memes were born…

However, some people suspect that this is Twitter’s “self-directed and self-acted”: Is there a shortage of people or money?

Coincidentally, the Google Cloud service expires on June 30. Netizens think that Musk doesn’t want to pay the bill for Google’s server, so they want to solve it by restricting traffic.

But doubts about this point were quickly dispelled. It is reported that Twitter has renewed the server contract.

Other platforms also have speed limits

Twitter is in chaos, and competing products will be “Chinese New Year”.

Mastodon, which has taken on a large number of Twitter users before, has seen a surge in new users in the past two days.

According to statistics from netizens, the number of new users has increased by more than 40,000 in the past day.

It can also be seen from the statistical chart that after July 1, the user growth curve became significantly steeper.

The programmer of Bluesky, a similar platform, said that he is dealing with the historical highest visit traffic, and is updating the APP simultaneously to try to solve the problem.

But the traffic spike was so high that they ended up having to temporarily shut down new user registration.

From the website logs, we can see that on July 1, they urgently upgraded the website and expanded the server capacity, but they still failed to withstand it.

Bluesky said that once they solve the problem, they will immediately open registration to everyone, and welcome to experience it.

Coincidentally, someone discovered that earlier yesterday, Xiao Zha’s Twitter competitor Threads was briefly launched on Google Play for a while.

f520cd704ca979447eca91de49222438.png

You know, Musk and Zuckerberg made an online appointment, and Threads was the fuse.

What users want is a Twitter-like product that “runs sanely,” Meta chief product officer Chris Cox said at the plenary session.

Threads will allow Instagram users to automatically transfer their followers and user information directly to the new app.

As a result, a big V launched a vote on the Internet, asking whether “Threads can replace Twitter”, which attracted Musk’s attention. As a result, after coming and going, the two made an appointment online.

The platform does not want to be prostituted data

Talking back to the essential reason for the chaos on Twitter, Musk explained that access was restricted because he did not want to be prostituted by AI for nothing.

This situation is currently temporary.

6d16777c3f15d8316be908b333d1ddc8.png

On the other side, Reddit, an American post bar that also doesn’t want to be prostituted, Payment API has come.

This directly led to the removal of several very popular third-party Reddit apps.

For example, Apollo (this APP was mentioned on Apple’s WWDC 2023 not long ago). Its founder said that if he wants to continue to operate Apollo, he will have to pay an annual fee of 20 million US dollars, which far exceeds his income, so he can only close the APP in the end.

Another app, BaconReader, was also announced to be offline.

f5f88e8f24ea93e0574fe46d05c5ea3a.png

Some apps said that because of the payment API problem, they will launch a subscription model in the future, but they will launch it at a low price as much as possible.

The founder of the Apollo app said he might be less comfortable with Reddit in the future, too.

In April of this year, Reddit announced that it would charge for companies accessing the API. Its CEO once said:

Reddit’s database is really valuable. But we don’t want to give this valuable content to big tech companies for free.

But the problem is that this policy is almost a devastating blow to third-party applications. As a result, a large number of Reddit users and communities have protested in the past period of time.

Looking at it now, Twitter is walking behind Reddit.

The Verge defines Twitter’s current turmoil as one of several ways Musk is monetizing Twitter.

For example, in March, Twitter had repriced the API. Launched three packages: Free Edition, Basic Edition and Enterprise Edition. The basic version costs $100 per month, and the enterprise version is estimated to be $42,000.

Later, the Twitter blue label paid authentication service was launched, and there was another war of words with many media platforms.

And also found a new CEO to focus on the advertising business.

In short, Lao Ma really worked hard for Twitter.

No, just two days before the Twitter chaos, Musk was exposed to be taking ketamine.

He himself responded that the small dose was to treat his own depression.

So here comes the question, do you still have time to duel offline with Xiao Zha, an old horse who is full of troubles on Twitter + mild depression?
