minus-squareZagorath@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·10 days agoAnyone 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?
