    Anyone got an article with examples that demonstrate this problem? I clicked on some articles linked from the comments of that video:

    • https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/5/24314133/pc-gaming-show-2024-best-trailers
    • https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/11/24318164/lord-of-the-rings-war-of-the-rohirrim-review

    And the embeds in those articles were all clickable to go through to YouTube, like normal. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an embed that couldn’t send me back to YouTube…on any site.

    Possibly something an ad blocker is automatically remedying?

      Same here. Figure it’s either some sort of A/B testing or one of my extensions fixing it.

        Oh yeah very well could be A/B testing. We rarely get features here in Aus until it’s ready to roll out fully.
