This is the first private message I get on Lemmy, it immediately seemed suspicious to me so I tried the famous thing.... and it worked!
F in chat for the invidious/newpipe bot that spammed every comment that dared to link a YouTube video directly. Still think of you sometimes, you were a real artificial one.
F
To be fair, I don't like it when links are shared this way. Each person has a different preferred Invidious instance, and chances are they already have a redirecter set up if they need it. Not to mention that in 99% of cases, the public instance would be broken. Especially now, since there's been news that they broke the last way Invidious managed to work, at least the public instances.
Newpipe breaks too often and doesn't have shorts, easier to rawdog YT with adblocker.
Avoiding shorts is a feature IMO
