Welcome to the world of Elon wanting to squeeze the last penny possible from his victims.
He's got to recoup that massive loss somehow.
Honestly.. for my site, I've disabled as much to do with Twitter as possible. The last "aspect" I have enabled is sharing.. and I'm about to turn it off also.

Catching up on posts I missed. I think I forgot to reset notifications and I wasn't getting any. 
I looked into this site but I'm not seeing a lot of activity or momentum. Its embedded player requires a bit of extra processing that makes it more complicated to support, so I'm going to have to decline for now. If you want to sponsor the addition of this site by paying for the development cost, send me a direct message and I'll give you a quote ASAP.
The "broken image" in the top right tells me your browser is blocking Twitter. Either that or Twitter servers are malfunctioning but that seems like some kind of adblocking/tracking prevention. In my experience, the more privacy-oriented your browser is, the more snags you encounter on social websites.

It's also unfortunate I can't afford to sponsor the addition, or I most definitely would if I had the funds.

Except he's now got Meta gunning for him. Threads, a spinoff from Instagram that is basically their version of Twitter and can connect to Mastodon servers, is about to get rolling. Though apparently they can't launch in the EU yet due to privacy issues.
Threads: Instagram owner to launch Twitter rival on Thursday
The move is the latest in a rivalry between Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter owner Elon Musk.

so looks like threads embed code exists. i saw a sample code shared in another thread. it looks rather messed up but looks like most of the code is svg being used to generate the brand logo. just sharing here in case, @JoshyPHP wants to add support for it in s9e.

I see you have Kickstarter. Is it possible to add Gamefound as well?
That would be a soft no for now. I'll reconsider if it becomes particularly popular, or if you want to sponsor its addition by paying for the development cost.
A couple of days probably, assuming they're not doing weird things that would complicate my side of things. Things are slightly on fire where I live and my internet access is not entirely reliable so I have to prioritize but I'll look into it asap.

is the extra space expected?

No, it's just me not realizing that Threads posts could be shorter than 186 px in height. Threads has a slightly annoying quirk that it tries to resize itself to 186 px before content is loaded. After content is loaded it resizes itself to its correct (usually final) height. Stuff like Google PageSpeed Insights doesn't like when elements are being resized, especially not multiple times, so I had it set to ignore the first measurement of 186 px by ignoring anything that isn't bigger than 186 px. That's why it ignored that small post that's only 144 px tall, which left the embed at its original height of 300 px. I could set the default height to be 186 px which would prevent the double resizing but I prefer to have a default height that's closer to the average post in order to minimize the impact of subsequent resizing, both in terms of user experience and Content Layout Shift, which is also a web performance metrics that's sometimes used to rate pages.
I've removed that limitation for now and I'll think about a way to skip the useless resizing in a future version.

honestly, twitter and threads should just render an image of the tweets in question and load that. would save so much hassle.
