A fascinating talk by Zack Freedman about how janky the word of mass-produced electronics is.

@unfa Hi there... Could you use filtered YouTube links so people are not tracked / harvested by default from clicking your links?

Put the original link if you want but further down please :) and the examples below show it's just about putting video ID in filtered link such as this:

yewtu.be/watch?v=YP8dZKYMxZ4

redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=

youtu.be/YP8dZKYMxZ4

@freeschool I haven't had anybody complain about me posting vanilla YouTube links, and using the "filtered" sites makes it impossible to interact with the video creators by commenting etc.
I think if someone is concerned about this, they can probably modify the URL themselves, I don't see a need to do this for everyone.

Full disclosure: I am a videomaker myself and I stare at the other side of the coin here.

One way is to wait for people to complain, another way is to influence what change you'd like to see and compound the change (for yourself and others).

So if you disagree on what you are softly pushing others to use you can change that.

Without being hard or about ultimatums, it is about where you stand and maybe some minor points (as usual) rope you in but putting both links with your preference at the beginning also does the justice of advertising better ways / software / FOSS or whatever gets you stimulated (even if it's not perfect, it's the right thing to do often).

Will reply to the other msg you sent now with neutral but straight talk about it...
