Research direction

Start by locating the bot's link-processing path and the existing YouTube-only recognition logic. Investigate whether checking arbitrary domains would require a GET request for every link, as the issue notes. Done would require a defined, feasible approach for recognizing videos beyond YouTube without an unacceptable request cost.

Description

dream

Not sure if this is possible, and even if it is it's probably not a good idea since it would require a GET request on every single link the bot encounters. I can dream (and open up an issue) though.
