they need to cut it out because it's too obvious, even people with known minimum engagement standards (big accounts, checks, Trump stands out) see a big drop in visibility when they post youtube links
It shows that Twitter considers anything you do on a computer to be a competitor

they also don't like you linking facebook but i don't like clicking facebook and facebook doesn't let its old users leave either
