Paradoxically, I kinda prefer YouTube links because then I can configure my client to use whichever proxy/frontend I wanna use

Exactly! It is so much more user friendly to post the original and let individuals set their browser/device to open it wherever is preferred.

Oh absolutely!

My point is that it's easy for anyone to click the link and be taken to YouTube by accident.

But yeah. Given that YouTube is the source, I guess it makes sense to use the actual yt link.

What is enshittification?

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

The lifecycle of Big Internet

We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.

Embrace, extend and extinguish

We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.
