People should just post YT links instead of whatever obscure frontend they decide is better

For one, even if I wanted to use it, piped never works for me.
Second, on mobile, my alternative of choice doesn't recognize everyone's non-yt links, so it removes my choice in the matter.
Third, I have no reason to trust the weird-ass domains I see, and to un-fuck the url takes much more time then just handing out the original YT links and letting people choose for themselves how they view the video.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm with you 100%.
I would also argue we should use a shorter version like: https://youtu.be/Co_tVd9gA2I
Instead of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Co_tVd9gA2I
Dammit, I was expecting a Rick roll.
Hahah, I just linked the video I had open (and find very insightful).
Is it a Rick Roll if you expect it?
It's the thought that counts!
The second, longer URL doesn’t bother me.
But the tracking parameter usually found after? Can’t stand it. Manually remove it every time.
Should I be replying to everyone with a “link with tracking removed”? :-/ Or maybe see if the Piped bot could offer the service.
Why? Just because it's shorter?
Yeah
