After clicking play, there's a prompt to log in. I had to use a video downloader service to watch it

  You can just replace x.com with nitter.net, though their bandwidth sucks for media playback.

    Harry Potter would have posted the original video to YouTube instead. It seems like a tragic irony, and perhaps a sign of danger, that OP posted the demo video to the website of He Who Should Not Be Named. Why? Why?!

      Because Twitter posts consisting of YouTube links die quickly. It’s very obvious once you have a few thousand followers. Your option is basically either upload to twitter, or put the YouTube link at the end just before a screenshot. Or both a video and a YouTube link, I suppose. If you trigger their YouTube embed, it seems like it gets penalized quite harshly. I’ve seen other people agree with the sentiment.

        Twitter posts never die if you never post to Twitter in the first place.

        Just don't use a Twitter post as your demo video in the GitHub readme. I don't care what someone does on Twitter - I never go there. But you can just embed a .gif or .webm in your readme or link to YouTube there.

        What does it mean for a post to die, and why is that bad?

    The poster to x apparently has a bsky account also — I wish they would cross post.

    or xcancel.com

  could be regional cuz that don't happen in the US. they play right away regardless of log in status

    That's simply not true.

    They used to. Not anymore.

    I'm in the US and twitter videos don't play for me. I see what looks like a video control when I view the post, when I click it, it throws up a modal log in/sign in dialog. No way to view the video while logged out.

      I don't have a twitter or x account. I clicked the link, a log in modal popped up, I dismissed it, then was able to play the video. Firefox on iPhone if it matters.

        > Firefox on iPhone if it matters. very possibly, I am using Chrome on a desktop.
