Elon Musk is now limiting Twitter features for regular users

Twitter, the popular social media platform, has been gradually limiting the availability of certain features to non-paying users. Now, the company is contemplating further restricting access to features that have hitherto been freely available.

The most recent development suggests that Twitter is considering limiting the number of direct messages, or DMs, that a non-premium user can send. Specifically, Twitter seems to be on the path to setting a limit of 30 DMs per day for non-paying users. This is a significant decrease compared to the current limit of 500 DMs per day. This move appears to be a strategic step to incentivize users to upgrade to the premium Twitter Blue subscription.

Twitter Blue offers its subscribers a host of features, including the ability to undo tweets, write lengthier tweets, pin tweets at the top of their profile, and access exclusive content. The imposition of a DM limit seems to be a maneuver designed to push more users towards subscribing to this premium service.

However, it's important to note that Twitter has not yet formally announced the DM limit for non-paying users. This change appears to be in a testing phase, and if approved, it could be rolled out in the coming days.

Another recent revelation is that Twitter, under the guidance of CEO Elon Musk, is planning to implement an update restricting the ability to send DMs to only those users who follow the sender. The ability to send DMs to non-followers will be reserved for verified users or Twitter Blue subscribers. This will add another layer of exclusivity to the premium service, further nudging users to consider subscribing to Twitter Blue.
