    There's like a button on top of the video or next to it i'm not aure, but aometimes you click on a video and youhappen to hit that button instead,
    Youtube opens some faq page, if you click to go back, the front page has now been refreshed and the video is gone never to be seen again

    To elaborate, the button is overlayed on the thumbnail of a video, and is reeeaaally big, so it’s super easy to accidentally click it

    Oh I guess that wasn't just me being an idiot, this is some kind of systemic idiocy. Nice to know.

    How does that stop you from being affected? It's literally an <a> element

    Why are you promoting it like it's one of those scam sites?

    Feel free conduct a cursory search for it on this very platform which will take all of five seconds.

    I don't know what you mean by this, but you probably misunderstood what I'm trying to say. I know of this tool, and I have been using it for years, but going into a random comment section and posting a link very vaguely related to the original conversation is a thing usually done by scammers, and doing this probably doesn't help spreading the good word about your favourite project

    Yeah that sucks, but have you ever heard of a thing called the "Back" button?

    Yes, but it does a refresh for some reason when you use it. And it also makes the thing more painful sometimes, because first the browser uses the cache, shows you the page as you left it, then it does a refresh before anything becomes clickable
