Love Island fans are furious with Elon Musk for introducing a new Twitter rule that limits the number of posts users can read in a day. The measure, which was purportedly designed to 'address extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation' has been met with a lot of criticism, particularly from Love Island viewers.
This comes as the series is set to reintroduce former islander Molly Marsh with the start of Casa Amor. Fans fear that they will miss out on the show's full experience due to the limit on Twitter.
The hashtag #LoveIsland was soon taken over by angry fans, with one tweeting: "Elon Musk is so wicked for doing this during casa period #LoveIsland". Another said: "Like how am I supposed to watch love island now without seeing unhinged tweets? #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK".
Many viewers were left feeling frustrated and helpless. One fan said: "This read limit better be cleared up by Sunday. I'm not being limited on Twitter during #LoveIsland season AND the first episode of casa????". Another questioned: "Like Elon musk is going to hell?".
The hashtag #Twitterdown and RIP Twitter began trending as users were faced with a message saying ‘Rate limit exceeded. Please wait a few moments then try again’. This was accompanied by a peak of 5,126 complaints of problems accessing the site in the UK and 7,461 in the US.
Fans are now preying that Elon Musk reverses his decision before Casa Amor, so that they can watch Love Island with the rest of the nation without any restrictions. Love Island continues on ITV2 tomorrow at 9pm.
