One advantage of linking a YouTube video in an aggregator setting is if the video goes viral, everyone is spamming Google’s server for delivery instead of hammering smaller services. Video is pretty expensive, so for now I see no issue abusing YouTube (assuming everyone here is already ad-blocking & DNS sinking anyhow).

Yeah, those 300-odd lemmy uses are really gonna be a huge burden on Google’s resources
Implying Lemmy is the only link aggregator? There are others, informal group & DM sharing as well.
