    They also warn before opening a youtube link, my guess is they don’t request any youtube data before you actually open the link. I assume it’s for privacy reasons

      Nah, that’s just what the YouTube site responds with when sending a preview request (or something like that). IIRC YouTube isn’t compliant with that standard so specific logic has to be implemented to request thumbnails and descriptions from it, unlike most other sites.
