Hello, and thank you for your reply. Odd that I didn’t get an email about it—I thought I had subscribed to the thread. In fact, I just came back to supplement my question or post a new one.
The problem now has also turned up in posts with just plain images. This most recent one, for instance:
https://twitter.com/VirgilTMorant/status/405187170798813185
The image in the post is not too small, and yet no image in the card, not even the default image for when a post has no images.
It still puzzles me a bit, though, the YouTube images. If the image is too small, should it not either select an image in the post that is large enough (as several of my posts have) or default to my Web site’s thumbnail? This one, for instance, has both YouTube and an image in the post, and the image is large enough:

And there are one or two other examples like that. Plus there is this:
https://twitter.com/VirgilTMorant/status/398600187037241344
which has three nice images in the post, one at the top and three in the text, and yet no image thumbnail in the Twitter card.
I’m sorry to have inundated you with the links, but I wanted to provide sufficient examples. It seems at this point the only time I get an image thumbnail in a Twitter card is when there is no image or video whatsoever in the post, in which case it does typically go to the default image.
In any case, I’ll try to see if I am in fact subscribed to this thread, and I’ll try to check back too. Thank you for your help.
