They set daily read limits that were comically low. Read limits obviously don't help with spam. They do help with scraping but it's again so low, it seems like it would pretty much just disable scraping rather than control it. 600 tweets A DAY?

The whole, "you can pay to have a higher rate limit", is the big telling part. And the big difference here, I believe I read that meta said to contact them if the limits are affecting you. Where as twitter just wants more money.
