Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, announced on Twitter that he will be taking a little break from the social networking site. This occurs in the midst of the ongoing debate over price caps that was started by Twitter’s decision to place limitations on user reading.
These limitations were implemented by Twitter, which is managed by CEO Elon Musk, as a response to “excessive levels” of data harvesting and system manipulation. However, the change has sparked a significant outcry, as well as service interruptions and irate customers.
among addition, there is a combination of amusement and annoyance among the community around the speed limit issue. Some made playful allusions to Hoskinson exceeding his price cap, finding humor in unfortunate circumstances. Hoskinson was encouraged to take some time off by others.
After thousands of users complained about technical issues such being unable to retrieve tweets, missing timelines, and followers suddenly disappearing, Twitter’s contentious price limit policy initially attracted the public’s attention.
After many users attempted to view tweets, the statement “price restrict exceeded” became a common sight. Twitter made this decision after previously announcing that users must have accounts on the website in order to access tweets.
The new restrictions have received an overwhelmingly negative reaction from the general public. The hashtag #TwitterDown entered the hot category as a result of users venting their frustration with alerts like “price restrict exceeded” and “Can not retrieve tweets” appearing in their feeds. Additionally, critics expressed their doubts about the speed limit’s ability to prevent data scraping and system manipulation by using the hashtag #RIPTwitter.
