I've got a site that is basically infinite scroll of mostly YouTube, SoundCloud, and Reddit embeds and had to do this for YouTube for it to even be functional. Using the YouTube provided thumbnails though since I'm not too concerned about tracking.

Please more respect for your users, as should be appropriate for a webmaster. If you personally do not mind tracking, OK, but please do respect that a visitor of your website might have different opinions. Thank you!

It sounds like the users visiting this site are there to watch YouTube videos

Users are also capable of blocking traffic from their client if that's something they care about.

This is not something they should have to care about. And once you leave the tech savvy community then can not take care of it via content-blockers... You should do the correct thing by default, which is not supporting adtechs' psychological warfare agains the population imho.

God this comment is obnoxious.

If a visitor has different opinions then they can implement their opinions. Webmaster didn't stop that.

Nearly every user won't care.
