@nivex unfortunately, with the current project management structure, it seems unlikely that this will go anywhere this time any more than it has over the past year, but I do wish you the best of luck getting Eugen to change his mind. Gods know I've tried.

@djsundog If I knew how to code it, or knew someone who does, I'd say write it and submit a PR. Working code is a lot harder to ignore.

That said, I've read the rationale in the referenced issue report and I agree with the other commenters that it seems to be a double-standard.

Maybe we need an open Soundcloud-alike that can deliver an oembed back for times like this?

@nivex I considered wrapping it up as a separate PR for tootsuite but to be honest it would make me angrier with every passing day it languished unmerged and I don't like setting myself up to get angry, particularly if I anticipate the anger to last for months or longer.

@djsundog You are very wise to choose happiness. Definitely not a hill worth dying on.
