That sounds a bit like "nobody would ever fall for a phishing email." I don't think we should overestimate the technical sophistication and unceasing vigilance of the average YouTube user.

Even if it's just a non-clickable link to "more information", some data can be exfiltrated that way.

That's equating regular social engineering versus LLM prompt injection and clicking a sneaky URL, I don't think those are equivalent scenarios or risks.
