Intermittent issue with Instagram posts not appearing

Lately, I've been getting this once every several Instagram posts. It shows up as if the post has been deleted, but if you click on it, the Instagram post appears to be normal.

This is NOT due to it being a private Instagram account. It's also NOT related to the new-style Instagram urls which sometimes include the username or  "tv" in the path (those types of posts just show up as links). 

The Instagram link seems well-formed and SHOULD embed properly but just doesn't. Note that this happens consistently on certain Instagram posts, not that it happens intermittently on any Instagram post. Most posts still embed fine. 

I tried it on both Chrome and Edge and saw the same thing. It also doesn't seem to be a user-specific issue (others have confirmed they see the same thing).

Posting the link here as well just to see what happens here (yes, this is what happens)

For reference, this is the link I post (with spaces added to avoid handling):

https :// www. instagram. com/p/CZLehOcOtzB/

And when I click on "Visit Instagram" and the Instagram posts comes up on my laptop, I see this link (again, the spaces were added to prevent handling and focus on the utm part of the url, not what happens with it).

suefb, Instagram has a setting where the member can choose whether or not they allow people to embed their posts on other websites. This appears to be the case in this situation.

I'm going to try to embed the same post you're trying to embed.

Edit:

It looks like the person doesn't allow their posts to be shared on other sites.

Edit 2:

I was defeated by Scott.

Thanks for the explanation, Scott and bigballofyarn. Didn't know that was a thing. I'll just have to live with it! Will use a link instead when I encounter it.
