    Ironic how this is a YouTube link and Lemmy’s Web Frontend just embeds it and makes my browser call out to Google/YouTube and load extra JS. I liked Lemmy more when they didn’t do this bullshit.

    One thing about the modern web I really hate is how websites have to embed and show a preview of every other hyperlink. I don’t want any of that. I never wanted any of that. “Features” like embedding stuff don’t add much and only make everything more slow because things become more chatty on the Network. Also: Stop helping big tech lay eggs in people’s browser cache.

    If there is a hyperlink and I want to know what’s behind it, I click on it. It’s as easy as that. </rant>
