I'm honestly surprised that Twitter doesn't have some sort of circuit breaking for such gigantic attack towards major accounts. It's a PR nightmare that a circuit breaker would help a bit with, no?

Considering that Twitter has taken a decade and not managed to create a functional web media player, something like a circuit breaker is probably low on their priority list.

I still haven't figured out the correct way to watch a video on twitter. I always have to mess around with the mute button, seek back to start of video, etc.

On Chrome, it won't even load up most of the time. Press play and it shows a "failed to load media" error message. I have to refresh the page to get it to work. I've completely stopped playing any media on Twitter.

Twitter and Reddit's tech incompetence absolutely baffles me. How are billion dollar companies not able to make functional video players?
