YouTube quietly made some of its web embeds worse, including ours

  Hey company, are you surprised?

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

  • theverge.com/…/pc-gaming-show-2024-best-trailers
  • theverge.com/…/lord-of-the-rings-war-of-the-rohir…

  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?
