Not a glitch. Costs less to dump the data than maintain it, plus a lot of cringey Musk tweets were in there.
The images are still available through direct links. The t.co redirects are broken.
Lol. That's is? I hate this sensational bs.
Tweets were 140 characters including urls to photos. It means the photo or url linked no longer works because users would shorten links instead of the full image url.
I know. But seems like a very easy fix.
How do I get the direct links from my old tweets? They have the t.co links in the tweet. I didn’t make a list of all the t.co links direct links across the whole site.
