Is there a reason why you’re using an image designed to look like itchio’s automatic YouTube embed?

(-1)

It's a link to my youtube video.

I understand that. We have an automated YouTube embed system that you can see on every other comment by YouTubers. My question is why you are using an image that looks like the embed that we generate?

I make it look like the embeds, So that people understand that it's a link to my video.  Seemed like the best way to help people understand it will bring them to my video, is to use similar language to what's being used on all the other ones.  It helps people understand that the picture is a link, that does exactly what it says it does "Activate Youtube".

If I didn't make it clear that the picture was a link to YouTube it would seem dishonest.

But if you're worried about confusion I'll put a note in the comment with the picture/link


Edit: it now says in the same comment as the picture that it is a link to my youtube video of the game, in case the creator would like to hear my thoughts on the game.
