Re: Twitter applies temporary reading limits
It’s easier than it sounds, if you click through to read threaded tweets, or even if you scroll a screen or two into replies to tweets. I suspect you can rack up the numbers whether or not you actually read everything that loads into the browser window/app.

You are underestimating Musk's ability to make 599 of your allowance ads.
