I don't spend much time here talking about X/Twitter -- I don't use it terribly often any more, but ...

... whenever I open a browser to check it, I'm startled by how long it takes to load the messages and posts

A
lot of spinny loading-wheels, for many full seconds

I have no special insight into what's happening on the back end, but yowsa it doesn't look great from the outside user's perspective

1. Frustration leads to motivation, to the dopamine of overcoming an obstacle. Their UI may be
deliberately buggy.
2. A Facebook page loads about 40 MB. One of my blog posts, about 40 KB.
