Twitter new feature allows you to publish very long articles
“[This feature] will allow users to publish very long, complex articles across multiple media. You can even publish a book if you want,” Elon Musk wrote in response to a Twitter user asking about a tool in development called Articles.
At the moment, only Twitter Blue subscribers can post long posts – they can use tweets with a length of 10,000 characters. The limit for regular users is 280 characters.

In early July, Musk announced that Twitter was imposing temporary restrictions on viewing messages due to “extreme levels” of system manipulation.
Users with verified accounts can now read up to 10,000 posts per day, regular accounts up to 1000 posts, and new users with unverified accounts up to 500 posts per day. Initially, the restrictions were stricter, but then the service increased the limit.
It was previously reported that Musk, who acquired Twitter last year, became the platform’s leader in terms of the number of subscribers in the first half of 2023.
His post with the meme “People who have a Twitter account but never post anything” became the most popular this year. It received over 1.5 million likes and over 128,000 retweets in just under a month of posting on June 17.
