For one, even if I wanted to use it, piped never works for me.

Second, on mobile, my alternative of choice doesn’t recognize everyone’s non-yt links, so it removes my choice in the matter.

Third, I have no reason to trust the weird-ass domains I see, and to un-fuck the url takes much more time then just handing out the original YT links and letting people choose for themselves how they view the video.

    I’m not sure this is really an unpopular opinion. Controversial? Yes. Unpopular? Probably not.

    In a lot of places people link unusual frontends, you’ll see at least 1 or 2 people chastising them for it.

    That aside, I agree.
