God I hate untagged YouTube links. You think you're clicking on an image or an article, but nope! And now YouTube thinks you watched a random video and your recommendations get infected with garbage outside of your normally watched channels

There are plenty of ways to check a link before you click on it. Hover over, long press and copy, or view source.

If you don't want to ever click on YouTube links then set your device to block them. That's your responsibility.
