But YouTube links auto-open, which is why I post YouTube links. I suppose I could figure out how to associate all these random sites (Piped, Freetube, probably others) with YouTube, but surely URL redirectors work better when using the original source URLs instead of a laundry list of different URLs.
On Lemmy, we have the Piped bot, so the inconvenience for those who don't have those URL redirects configured is to go to the comments and click a link.
