Medium New Limits
How Medium and Twitter limited content consumption
Exclusive access: You’re among the lucky few who get to read this post. Now only 10 stories per day [July 6th, 2023 Update]
Dear Reader,
In an exciting development in social media, Twitter has recently introduced a new feature to streamline the user experience. Under this new provision, the total number of tweets one can consume daily will be limited. However, the bigger surprise comes from Elon Musk, the tech mogul known for his constant innovation.
In an announcement that has been the talk of the digital town, Elon Musk has revealed a stratified tweet limit system. Verified users on the platform can post up to 10,000 times per day. The maximum post limit for unverified users is reduced to 1,000, while new unverified users are further limited to 500 posts a day. This indeed marks a significant change in the digital landscape.
MEDIUM makes it better than Musk
Contrasting this with the recent changes implemented by Medium, we can see an intriguing pattern unfold. While Twitter’s modification is primarily user-based, Medium’s new restriction applies universally.
10 Topic Stories Per Day
Medium now presents a concise view, showcasing only the top 10 trending posts for any given topic and the 10 most recent posts.
This shift makes Medium appear more selective and restrictive when compared to the broad canvas of Twitter, even with its newly imposed limits.
Take a moment to immerse yourself in this new digital experience. Explore Twitter’s newly-defined posting limits or Medium’s curated content approach, and see how these changes shape your browsing experience.
This interesting dynamic raises several questions: is this the beginning of a new digital age defined by quality over quantity?
What are the long-term implications of these novel restrictions?
