That didn’t fit with his limiting how many tweets users are able to view.

The theory behind that is that Twitter failed to pay for their web-services and needed to suddenly cut traffic, otherwise they'd be shutdown by Amazon / Google.

After Twitter paid Amazon/Google, they raised the tweet view-limits appropriately, but the damage was already done.
