Needed one the other day because the post only had the Piped one and Piped never loads for me. When it briefly used to load then it would buffer constantly.
What is the etiquette for posting YT links in this scenario? If the content is from YT I'd prefer to post the canonical link instead of a mirror that may go down or may get hugged to death. If you'd rather view on a mirror I'd suggest you use e.g. LibRedirect. Does this make sense? Are there better ideas? I'd like to promote non-YT frontends but am not sure what the best option here would be.
I would say just post the YT link and let folks do what they want with it. When someone only posts a piped link I don’t bother clicking because they are very unreliable for me and I pay for YouTube so I like to just use it and not deal with the bs.
I can't imagine there'd be any damage to posting two or more links: the YT one, a piped one, an invidious one, etc... All sides of the conversation that matter are covered.
