Indeed - I hadn't seen that, and it was only after the complaint was made that I found the original. And again, mea culpa - I apologise.

That said, it was this link that turned up in my feed, and when I thought the HN crowd might like it I clicked the bookmarklet, so submitting it. The blogspam aspect was not intentional.

I'm quite glad when good links get a second chance, whomever ends up posting it. Shame there's not a proper way to revitalize content that, for whatever reason, fails to get attention.

No doubt that's a slippery slope, though.

I think HN web site penalizes direct links to youtube. That's why blogspam links win.
