I'm having trouble viewing tweets.

Used to be if I clicked on a post where the only thing in it was “Link to Tweet” the tweet would automatically appear after a second or two.

Now, nothing happens when I click on the post, and when I click on the blue letters “Link to Tweet”, I get a black page with the circle going round and round and round and I never see the tweet. Is this happening to anyone else?

Normally I would just ignore it, but so many posts here are links to a tweet.

TY in advance for any help.

if I'm on my phone. If I'm on my desktop, I just see a link and delete the post since I'm not giving Twitter any impressions with which to calculate charges to their advertisers. It doesn't take engagement for Musk to make money, just eyeballs on the site.
