Anyone that spent a lot of time on the better subreddits knew that already.
edit: I forgot to add - this is probably why Huffman did what he did on reddit - they know it’s perfectly possible to properly mod online communities… they don’t want them properly modded.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Anyone know if it is possible to get the Piped link in the NewPipe app? I only get the YouTube link when I hit Share.
