We would like this to stay a source for relevant, high quality content. I've been pretty active at blocking every spammy domain submission, or URL relay and have even started blocking github/gitlab user routes as well as medium and other blog users. Unfortunately, the YouTube channel is not part of the url used and as a result, it's pretty much all or nothing. While about 1/3 or so YouTube videos are nice, about 1/3 are spammy and the other 1/3 are lower quality material. So, I'm asking to get a bit of a consensus on this. Do you appreciate the links from YouTube content here, and how much so. I can continue doing this manually, just realize that this is potentially a path to more poor content in the future.
