The YouTube player is there, poorly inserted at the bottom of the page on mobile.

No attribution is provided. There's no credit given. The description from the video is not provided.

People make their living from producing YouTube videos. This isn't cool at all.

Says "Channel: Panigale Enthusiast" and the video is at the top-right of the page very prominently displayed.

On mobile - I agree it should be at the top, but for UI/UX reasons not because they're "siphoning from creators" which they are not - they are literally promoting the creators.

The people making a living from YouTube will make even more money now that their embed is on this site, won't they? Are you implying they don't get the views?

[mattl]

Why isn't it a link to the channel? Where is the description from the video which often includes the credits for the video, including writers, editors, etc?

People won't get views from this. This is taking the work of others.

The site is meaning to keep people on the site, not send everyone to youtube. It's a different form to consume and narrow down what to watch instead of investing less time in videos that don't have the information you might be after.

Many genres of videos dont really matter as much for a summary, so I'm not sure if this is super ubiquitious

Isn't an embed better than a link? Click play vs click a link then click play?

It's embedded and says the channel name in a giant font size. The creator gets the views.

> People won't get views from this

Do you know how YouTube embeds work?

[mattl]

No, a link would link to the YouTube channel so it would be good as well as the embed.

The creator doesn't get views unless someone clicks to play their video. Most people won't click to play the video.

Also this site makes no attempt to check if a video can be embedded before displaying the text.

There's a link in the embed itself too - what is your complaint?

They give credit to the creator - is your complaint that they shouldn't be allowed to summarize a video in text format? Like every blog or news that ever embeds a video does?

[mattl]

A small link buried in an embed widget which doesn’t even appear on every video is not sufficient credit.

A YouTube video has a description field, plus a title and the channel name. All of these should be shown at the top of the page, plus video creators should be required to opt-in to this service.
