I love the younger generation, so on-point on analysis right-wing tech and why it’s crap and always fails.

@gimulnautti just some advice.
If you didn't know, Fedi is having troubles propagating YouTube link previews when using the short link like you've done here. It's causing problems when clicking the preview instead of the link.
If you could, try to use the full link instead in the future. In this case, it'd be https://youtube.com/watch?v=-Ca8zM3WyVw
You just have to change it to YouTube.com and add in "watch?v=" after the /
I don't think it matters for this time because I don't think it'll try to re-pull the preview if you edit it.
Just figured I'd let you know for the future.

@gimulnautti no worries. Does the link preview work on your end? Or are you getting generic ones as well?
A LOT of people seem to be having the issue.

@BeAware I guess people want to kill the extra information that gets added onto the link for tracking.

@gimulnautti yep...they've even altered the format of the link to confuse people.
If you use YouTube in a browser, the link format used to be like YouTube.com/watch?v=videoid?si=trackinginfo
However, they changed it to youtube.com/watch?si=trackinginfo&v=videoid&feature=wherethelinkcamefrom
So if you don't know exactly what to take out, you could easily just break the link by removing the wrong part....
Google be googling and trying to sell data that people didn't give them permission to have.
