Twit Limits

It looks like Twitter's users will soon be tweeting out, the social media company is now limiting the number of posts users can view per day.
Now I do not know whose bright idea was this but this is definitely the beginning of the end of Twitter as we know it.

In a time of rising interest rates, inflation, and job loss, people are having difficulties staying afloat, how can you even consider paying a price to post when other other social platforms are free. This is a no-brainer for Twitter users to jump ship and I am not alone on this theory.

Apple Vision Pro Failure

Even though it's a great device here are some reasons why they believe this device may fail. Unfortunately, unless they can resolve some of the ongoing problems that they now have, it's going to be a while before consumers even entertain the idea of purchasing this device.

I am excited that Apple took this approach but I am hoping other manufacturers put their minds together and figure out a solution to make the fantasy a reality.
