Instead of HTML links, the board should have a "copy link to clipboard" button that is found in email clients and elsewhere.

Also, YouTube video embeds sometimes have an "origin" parameter that shows the site where the iFrame was loaded. Only URL's yoinked right from the YouTube web app should be used.

Don't forget that YouTube will eventually catch on and try to block raids based on links that are published to this new board. Make the board member's only? Prevent scraping by showing partial or user defined titles? I think the best defense against scraping would be to lazy load each URL after copy request from user.

Why not just post viable YouTube search terms for the video? Then everyone arrives from an internal search. Hard to assign.

Don't need to do any of that. Just block the referrer in the HTTP header:

Do this, but it won't block an origin GET parameter. i.e. [URL]&origin=www.rightwingraidsite.com&...

Maybe allow access to users with a certain minimum amount of updoots on thedonald.win? Possibly account age?
