Twitter has been even more of a mess than usual the last few days, in part because it limited the number of tweets each users could read each day.

It seemed strange that Twitter posted this update on its business blog until the company mentioned that rate limiting has had a “minimal” effect on advertising. Many pointed out that limiting the number of tweets users could read per day would make it harder for advertisers to reach users and for Twitter to make money.

…oh, ok.

And no, I don’t really buy their excuses.
