Hey Admins!
Every time I click on an embedded YouTube link in a thread to playback I get blocked With this message :

IMG_8242.jpeg


That includes clicking my own embedded videos that I have posted in any thread! And that too when I am logged in to the site!!

Then after repeated retries, the thumbnail/placeholder of the media becomes a dead link image that cannot be clicked. It takes a few refreshes of the web page for the YouTube embedded link to become playable. FWIW this does not happen to Instagram links…

This is really annoying and I would love to see it fixed!
I usually surf on an iPad btw..
 
YouTube has lately tightened it's access, there is not much that Scuba board can do.

VPN servers for example get routinely blocked by now from accessing YouTube.
 
Based on the information provided in your post, there's a good chance that you are in fact a bot, but you don't know it and probably won't believe it even though it's fairly obvious that you are a piece of software designed by a hacker with nefarious purposes.
