@a_5mith but Google forces admins to embed this cookie bullshit if they don't want to be banned from Google Adsense. I got the email from google adsense..

If you would know how the future of communities will look like, you would be the next Zuckerberg

perhaps posting youtube videos should be a core feature, which can be disabled if not wanted?

Definitely not.
NodeBB is meant to be highly plugin-able. Even markdown-usage is a plugin.
At most it would be added to shipment-dependencies therefor it's installed on fresh installations by default.
I don't consider it as important, especially since there are so many sources to embed things from it wouldn't be correct to favor youtube. But the latter is just my opinion.

Thats the reason why it is not working.

If the plugin creator does not have time to maintain the plugin it might break your website. YouTube and any other popular Video hosting website should be a build in feature. Content sharing is a must have for every cms..

Edit:

Content sharing is a must have for every blog, forum, cms or web community

@a_5mith I don't use it on forum, but some other sites.

All larger forums and blogs use Adsense or ads in general. If you have some heavy used website, which generates user experience from content, then you have to invest much time to this website. This is the time which you could invest in your job or family, so for me it is OK to monetize.
