New Twitter limitations have Big Brother fans a bit worried about this summer.

Elon Musk announced that temporary limits were made for the number of posts Twitter users can read in one day.

Musk said this was an effort to address “extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation” that they have seen taking place.

Verified account users don’t have it too bad, as the blue checkmark allows a user to read 6,000 posts per day.

Being unverified means being able to read only 600 posts in a day. That limit is something many Twitter users are posting about.

And it has also led to many jokes from Big Brother fans who are worried about missing out on content shared from the live feeds.

Big Brother fans respond to Twitter limits

Many Big Brother fans use Twitter to keep up with the show. The site has some key accounts that update everyone on what has happened with the live feeds, and Twitter is where fans can debate what is taking place each season.

Some of those fans are very worried that limiting the number of posts they can read will impact how they enjoy Big Brother 25 this summer.

Below are a few posts describing the current mood.

“Twitter starting to limit how many tweets you can read in a day? Just before BIG BROTHER SEASON? The nerve. #BB25,” wrote one Twitter user.

They are referencing the upcoming Big Brother season advertised in new TV commercials on CBS.

And another Big Brother fan noted how it could become more difficult to “watch Big Brother properly” with these changes.

“You really do need Twitter to watch Big Brother properly and keep up with the feeds. It’s about to be a big ole mess if this app is broken beyond repair a month from now. #BB25,” wrote the user.
