Well I guess I can offer a dissenting opinion on this one. YouTube video links are fine on Lemmy? I like watching a short video or two each day?
Yes, YouTube sucks for privacy. So I don’t have an account and use Firefox Focus to be anonymous. I do wish there were better alternatives to YouTube.
I don’t like ads and that includes people advertising a channel. But I haven’t personally seen this happen much on Lemmy. Maybe not all. I guess I don’t see why it needs to be banned.
Anyone else seeing things this way? Or am I missing something?
Edit:
I’ve thought about it more. I think I was indeed missing something. Is the complaint referring to all the posts that contain nothing but a YouTube link?
If that’s the case, I guess it’s a valid complaint. Doesn’t really bother me though. I just scroll on by the posts that don’t interest me
Somewhat private way to watch YouTube: Piped. I believe the piped bot comments under everything with a YouTube link with an alternative link anyway. Just use that.

Complerly agreed, except that YouTube has privacy issues if you know how to protect yourself.
One of the reasons I love YouTube is that there’s no authwall, and there’s tons of alternative front ends… So it’s completely anonymous
