        @paulg it’s greyed out because you can’t retweet yourself

        @BenedictEvans @paulg and that is why millennials hate Twitter.

        @paulg I think that's only when you look at your own tweets — appears "disabled" because you can't retweet yourself (yet).

        @paulg it's not that they're invisible; it's disabled because you can't retweet your own tweet.

        @mrm @paulg Though still weird to make the count so faint. Likely nobody cares about it more than the author.

        @andrewcatton @paulg agreed. Grey the verb, not the adjective.

        @paulg They're invisible on your own page, but not on others', since you're not allowed to RT yourself. Took me a while to figure that out.

        @paulg UI bug. The retweet icon being greyed out denotes that you can't RT yourself; greying the number as well was a mistake.

        @paulg it's probably how Twitter helps you so you don't get carried away by the number and starts fading it out after a certain amount :D

        @paulg Did you already retweet it? Thats what it looks like once something is retweeted for me.

        @paulg twitter on tweet deck will allow you to quote yourself, on mobile app, they make it hard, but you can paste the tweet url.
