Even my own Videos on Youtube do this.
Now let’s look at the funny part of this new (lol not new) feature of Youtube.
Youtube is owned by google.
Google does not like iframes . Google has made this known for many years.
Youtube videos are now “embedded” via iframes now.
so this now means we can no longer write about a topic, and search youtube for someone who did a video on the content, and send that guy some traffic to his video and account for being a part of your presentation.
What is google/youtube thinking???
