@MrGoat It's not actually that simple, for us, with YT in particular.
@th3j35t3r @MrGoat Have you tried yelling at it?
Our thumbnail pull happens serverside via Ruby-On-Rails. Youtube keep blocking our domain and/or middleware boxes from snagging previews. Because they are children.
@th3j35t3r @MrGoat @FreedomATX I wrote them a short but poignant "feedback" message today. The gist was:

What are you afraid of?"
I know that last sentence is word for word. The first sentence I know was along those lines.
@MrGoat @th3j35t3r @FreedomATX Yeah I know. But it made me feel a little better.🤷♂️ 😉
