Twitter has a weird new glitch that is messing with the retweets, likes and even notifications in some cases. And from what it looks like, the issue is global. Essentially, since a few hours, users on Twitter have been seeing the number of likes and retweets fluctuate continuously. Of course, the ones who are seeing a reduced count are more upset than the others. [caption id=“attachment_5905971” align=“alignnone” width=“1280”]
