Why can't I see who retweeted a post anymore?

Last night I saw a tweet, a simple short text with hundreds of retweets.

I wonder who retweeted this post. I want to see those retweeters. But I couldn't! When I checked it, I saw this window:

Normally, I see the list of who retweeted a post here! Why can't I see who retweeted a post anymore?

When I asked it on Google and AI, these are the possible reasons for not seeing who retweeted a post:

If a user has a private (protected) account, their reposts (retweets) will not be visible to anyone who doesn't follow them, even if the original post is public. The repost will still be counted in the total, but the name of the user will not appear in the list. This is a deliberate privacy feature to protect the identity of users with private accounts.

However, in my case there is no such a thing as private account. It was a public account I tried to see retweeters. So, there should be a technical problem about my X account. So, if you have the same problem, you are probably having the same issue.

So, how did I overcome this problem?

Did I wait X to fix it? No, I didn't! Instead, I used Circleboom!

Thanks to its Export Retweeters feature, you don't only see who retweeted a post, but also you can export the retweeter list with details like their IDs, follower counts, bios, creation dates, etc.

If you can't see who retweeted a post like me and decided to use Circleboom, follow the steps below:

Step #2: Once reached dashboard, go over the menu and find “Essential Toolbox”.

You will see the sub-menu “Export Tools”. Under this, you will see Export Retweeters of a Tweet(s) or User(s).

Step #3: You will see two options there:

“Export retweeters of specific tweets” and “Bulk export retweeters of a user’s tweets”

For specific tweets, Circleboom enables you to extract retweeters of specific tweets, yours or other users. You need to paste the URL of the targeted tweet. Then, we will extract all retweeters of that tweet. The one thing you should do is clicking on the “Export” button.

Your export request has been sent. You will get your exported retweeters file within Circleboom also a copy will be sent to your email address.

Step #4: Your second option is bulk export retweeters of a user’s tweets.

You need to enter the handle of a Twitter user. Then, we first extract their all tweets. Then, you can export all of their retweeters or some of them. You can apply filters to sort their tweets by retweet number, like number, etc.

You can export retweeters of all tweets or you can select some. In this example, you will export 439.832 retweeters by clicking on the “Export Now” button.

You can see your export lists, finished and processing, on your Circleboom account page, under “Exported Links” section.

Here is the details of this list:
