reply to posts/comments with YouTube links with converted Piped links to
preserve your privacy. > > Piped is an open-source alternative privacy-friendly
frontend to YouTube. You can watch the same content from YouTube without

I’m not in favour of scanning the content of many to serve the few. YouTube urls are compatible with piped urls so you could simply copy/paste them and replace the urls if you prefer that (which I do).
That being said, you’re open to create a bot account yourself (and mark it as such in the account settings) and set up the bot. As long as there are no complaints, you’re free to do that.
