The really hilariously ill-conceived part of the Twitter rate limiting thing is that comments and retweets are the same kind of entity as tweets in the back-end database, they're just "parented" to whatever tweet they're commenting on or retweeting, and the rate limit they've placed on the API simply counts how many of those entities you've requested without checking a. whether they're the children of another entity or not, nor b. whether you've already seen that particular entity today.
Thus, the limit isn't really "600 tweets". A tweet, each comment on that tweet, and each retweet of that tweet all count against the limit as you view them. For example, if a quote-retweet crosses your dashboard, the quote-retweet itself and the little preview of what it's responding to that appears above it each count separately against the limit. Click into that quote-retweet to read the comments? They both get counted against your limit a second time, as does each individual comment you read – and heaven help you if any of those comments were themselves commented upon!
The upshot is that if your account isn't verified, using Twitter in the manner that its own monetisation model assumes – and, indeed demands – it will be used can easily exhaust your entire daily allocation of tweet views in as little as a couple dozen engagements.
so that’s why i ran out in like two hours
If anything, two hours reflects a very restrained usage pattern. Owing to the way that tweet views are counted, somebody who's using the site the way its user experience "wants" it to be used might readily burn through their daily 600 views in five to ten minutes!
Wait, wait, wait, so, Twitter now works like those mobile games that give you free "lives" and once you're out, sorry! Wait til tomorrow... or pay!
It's a bit worse than that, because the verified limit is only 6000 views, and there's presently no way to increase it beyond that. That might feel like a big number, but for the reasons outlined above, even a paying user with an ideal usage pattern will be able to use site for perhaps 60 minutes a day before they get put on hold, too.
it'll increase at some nebulous future date apparently but not by a lot
Look, people can talk all they want about how lotms is a “bad documentary” with “really weird editing” but few things in the history of cinema compare to the moment when Frank says that Ray and Bob are the hardest-working people he knows and it immediately cuts to the two of them playing what appears to be Donkey Konga with laser-like focus.
Social programs and resources for the poor lessens crime.

You lessen violence by creating happy, healthy communities that aren't fighting over material resources. /End ID]
