This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself.
The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.
In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.
The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.
This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.
Unbelievable. It's amateur hour.

One gets the feeling that all these limits Musk is suddenly throwing on #Twitter have a lot less to do with data scraping per se and much more to do with trying to run the entire operation on a dozen Raspberry Pis to save money.
Elon: We had all these things called 'data centers', you see. And they were everywhere, and I don't know why you'd need all your data in so many places, so I just closed a bunch of them.
Man, I'm fucking KILLING this job.
