Can someone explain to me how this is a bad thing? Honestly asking. To me, it just seems like a decent way to reduce bot activity.

Update: Ok, good points.

If your only goal is to reduce bots, then yes it should be successful. However, this limits the amount of time people can spend on the app. Which is the antithesis of what a successful social media platform wants to do and what ad agencies what to do.

Ultimately if he sticks with this it's going to be a death blow for the platform.

I don't see how this limits bots at all. You can simply spin up a hundred thousand bots and you'll be able to crawl 30 million posts a day. At best it will slow bots down for a week while they refactor how their systems work.

This really only affects legitimate users.

Legitimate users are usually the ones who suffer most for DRM
