        I’ve heard from many ppl that vercel is pretty nasty that way, and to only use them for learning and toy projects.

      Twitter no longer loads newer tweets if you’re logged out. Instead of showing a proper message, it either fails to load or redirects to the login page. They did that to prevent scraping.
