Some tweet content is replaced with link that refers back to itself
Recently i saw some tweet content is replaced with link in form of https://nitter.net/<user>/status/<id>/photo/1
. When clicked it redirects back to the tweet. For example, https://nitter.net/cnviolations/status/1692690255575404923/photo/1
I suspect Twitter changed how it display GIFs.
I looked into this, there's nothing I can do. Normal account credentials get the full media info with e.g. an mp4 link, but for some reason guest accounts don't. What you're seeing here is all the data Twitter provides.
Closing as it's working again
At least for the time being it only works sometimes. Refreshing a bunch of times shows it works maybe 10-20% of the time.
