Other Twitter users with GIF profile pictures began commenting under tgronpriv's post as it gained popularity, many playing along with the joke and claiming to have Twitter Nitro as well (example shown below).
The tweet is captioned, "y'all thought i was playin." The next day, tgronpriv tweeted a photoshopped screenshot of the subscriptions page on their iPhone as a comment to their original tweet, showing a monthly subscription to Twitter Nitro to further sell the joke (shown below). The tweet gained over 216,000 likes and 11,300 retweets.ĭudes be like "how yo pfp movin?" its called i got twitter nitro mf On November 18th, 2020, Twitter user tgronpriv posted, "dudes be like 'how yo pfp moving?' its called i got twitter nitro mf" (shown below, note the moving profile picture). The first known use of the phrase "Twitter Nitro" in reference to GIF profile pictures was tweeted by WindowsNoku on November 15th, 2020, who commented on a tweet by user compromisation, who has a GIF for a profile picture, "How did you get Twitter Nitro?" (Shown below.) This is explained in more detail in a piece published to BuzzFeed News on April 27th, 2017. If a Twitter user has a GIF profile picture, they likely uploaded the profile picture when the loophole was still active and haven't changed it since. Shortly after the loophole was discovered it was patched by Twitter devs, however, those who had already uploaded working GIF profile pictures found they still worked. BuzzFeed published an article describing how to do this on June 20th, 2012. OriginĪround June of 2012, a loophole on Twitter was found that allowed users to upload a working GIF as a profile picture by cropping it to a specific size. The name is a direct reference to Discord's premium option, Discord Nitro. The phrase began to rise in popularity on Twitter as a way to trick unknowing people into thinking it's a real thing, using Twitter Nitro as an explanation when users ask those with GIFs for profile pictures how their profile pictures are moving. Twitter Nitro refers to a fictional premium version of Twitter that allegedly allows users to upload working GIF files as profile pictures.
