Sharing a reddit link for the purpose of sharing a youtube video seems weird. WHat's the point of that? Is it to game the HN algorithm somehow?



My "devil's advocate" take is that that the reddit post provides an additional source of discussion points.


~that's a reddit video~

update: confirmed it's a youtube video posted to reddit

I was able to download it with:

yt-dlp "https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1eht39z/why_we..."

The point is the comments on reddit, this is a big news story.


The reddit post is just an embedded youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc5Np9OqDHU&t=1s


ok but if I post that link to youtube directly no one would have the context that it's blowing up on reddit.
