Twitter embedding

I think everyone had noticed tweeds weren’t embedding anymore. This was caused by Twitter changing it’s rules and policy. Basically you need a paid plan to have tweets embedded on platforms now, we all know who’s stupid idea this was.

I have found a workaround and tweets are embedding again as normal. Only difference is the Twitter URL still shows above the embed box, but it’s not disturbing. It remains to be seen for how long this workaround will work. But for now we’re good to go.

Fuck you, Elon Musk.

His rule changes are only impacting himself. I’m already finding myself going on Twitter less. The blue tick system is a mess, so you don’t know who to trust. And it’s not just me, he is ruining something that didn’t need fixing for a lot of people

Does he think this will make us pay? His ego is bloody massive. We can’t embed into articles at work either, so we just embed from Instagram instead. Less clicks for him.

Not that this affects me 99% of the time but it seems to only work on mobile.

Weird. Works on both for me
