  Twitter bug causes self-DDOS tied to Elon Musk's emergency blocks and rate limits: "It's amateur hour" - Waxy.org
  
  from @waxpancake
  
  An "amateur hour" Javascript bug is self-DDOSing Twitter, sending infinite requests from users related to — or possibly even causing — Elon Musk's "temporary emergency measures" to stop web scraping.

  Almost certainly the root cause of the issue is people scraping the site because the API access is cost prohibitive for any group that isn't involved in marketing and advertisement. No hobbyist is going to be forking that kind of money out. Same nonsense with Reddit's API costs.
