Does anyone have an idea why so many “quoted” retweets are showing up “This Tweet is unavailable”. I was thinking they no longer allowed quoted retweets of material marked “sensitive”, but here’s a case where the same person did two retweets of my tweets â one worked and the other didn’t. It makes even less sense that one worked and one didn’t. Thoughts?
Re: This Tweet Is Unavailable
I think its what you said above.
If you click on the actual post the tweet often shows. I think its images twitter has “detected” are sensitive don’t show when quoted. I notice on my twitter some posts immediately go behind a “sensitive image” box with option for surfer to click to remove. I think it is these posts that cant be quoted, as like you said some show and others don’t.

But that means no one has a clue what’s going on. You have to click on the tweet. Then click again on the link that’s shown. No one is going to do that. Why don’t they just disable the quote retweet option completely in cases where it’s not going to work. And how does it make sense that you can retweet the original tweet, but can’t add a comment to it with a quote retweet. I mean be consistent for god’s sake!
Re: This Tweet Is Unavailable
I feel exactly the same way! I assume the reason they have done it this crazy sporadic way is because a tweet could be marked as sensitive after its already been quoted.
Twitter has been testing a few new “features” that I have noticed, none that will help people promoting anything, and none that will help the people surfing…
I know they are trying to find ways not to have mainstream adverts shown next to porn, but my main response to this would be if someone has subscribed to porn, I would think the surfer would be happy to see the porn whether its next to an advert or not.
… either that or the twitter devs have made a fuck up somewhere, and everything we see isn’t what its supposed to be

BTW, I realized I had started a thread in March about the same subject. It’s just that it seems to be getting worse now.
Re: This Tweet Is Unavailable
Well it seems sometimes tweets are “flagged” as “inappropriate”.

Hey Jay!
It seems that the issue might not be because of adult content, i have dug down and done a bit of research, It would seem that this “quoted tweet showing as unavailable” is just a universal twitter bug that twitter don’t seem all that quick to try and fix. People have been complaining about it since quoted tweets rolled out in 2015
So its possible we just have to wait for this one to be fixed…
On Another note has anyone noticed recently that your able to retweet your own tweets since around a week ago (not that I would know why you would do this other than to bring a tweet back to peoples attention)?

Re: This Tweet Is Unavailable
Twitter has recently deployed a bunch of new “filtering” algorithms.
Re: This Tweet Is Unavailable
I’m so glad someone asked this because now I know why I have to go back and delete those “unavailable” tweets from Manhunt Daily that make us look dumb for posting.

It’s a big enough problem to have it’s own meme picâ¦
Re: This Tweet Is Unavailable
Tweeting is not what it used to be and the tweaks and adjustments to the platform point towards benefits to twitter, and not the user experience. When was the last time Twitter asked it’s users what they thought or would like to see implemented? What I don’t like is the priority tweets and the "while you were away’ postings. The majority of my promotional tweets don’t get noticed until a day or two later.
