How has Twitter limiting the number of tweets we can read caused it to DDoS itself?

590 views

I saw someone say that the new Twitter update was causing it to essentially DDoS itself. Is this true? I have a very basic understanding of what DDoS is but I don’t understand how the two are connected. Thanks in advance.

Just a little more on why this would happen, clearly this new tweet view limiting feature was added in a rush so the app / website wasn’t updated to know about it, so when the server tells the app the user has run out of views the app doesn’t know how to handle this error so gets stuck in a loop still trying to read the tweets that the server refuses to give them.
