Twitter CEO, Elon Musk in a recent tweet announced Twitter’s new feature “view Limit”.

Although it seems some users have already begun exceeding their limits, the controversy revolving around this feature seems to be more positive as most users agree with the fact of getting a reminder break from social media.
