no

no, infact recently they had to remove 'ru embeds since people kept on embedding horrid shit

Alright, here’s a deep dive into why it’s pretty much impossible to filter embedded YouTube videos directly, and why you can’t just slap some simple filters onto the embed code like you might hope. Grab a seat, ‘cause this’ll be a long one.

YouTube’s Embed Structure and Limitations

First, let’s talk about the way YouTube’s embed system works. When you embed a YouTube video on a website or forum (like on 4chan or your personal blog), you’re basically inserting a snippet of HTML that links to a YouTube video hosted on their platform. YouTube handles the video itself, the player, the ads, the resolution settings, the player controls, and all of the other functionality that comes with it.

The thing is, YouTube’s embedded player is designed to be controlled by YouTube. As the person embedding the video, you get a limited set of options to control the appearance and behavior of the player, but these options are very basic and they don’t allow for advanced filtering or modifying the content being displayed.

In short, YouTube’s player is locked down in terms of what you can and can’t change. All the important stuff—like video content, advertisements, overlays, and things like annotations—are all under YouTube’s control, and you can’t filter or change them directly using the embed code.

What You Can’t Control

Now, let’s look at what you can’t control with embedded YouTube videos:

1. Content Filtering: YouTube doesn’t allow you to filter or modify the content that’s part of the video itself. For example, if you want to block a specific section of the video or remove an ad that shows up in the middle of the video, you can’t do that. All of that is controlled by YouTube, and there’s no way to change it using the embed code.

2. Advertisements: One of the most annoying things about YouTube videos is the ads. Whether it’s pre-roll, mid-roll, or banner ads, you can’t remove them or block them through the embed code. While some third-party players or ad-blockers might have ways to skip ads, that’s something that happens on the user’s side, not the person embedding the video.

3. Annotations or End Screens: Annotations and end screens are elements within a YouTube video that creators use to add extra content, like links to other videos or calls to action. You can’t remove or filter out these elements through the embed code. If an uploader has added an annotation or an end screen, it will appear for everyone who watches the video, regardless of where it’s embedded.

4. Resolution or Quality Controls: YouTube automatically adjusts the quality of the video based on the user’s internet connection, and while you can suggest a default quality through the `?vq=` parameter, you don’t have full control over how the video plays. This also means you can’t force the video to play in a specific resolution or frame rate that might be more suited to your preferences.

5. Video Comments: Embedded YouTube videos show comments by default, and while you can disable the ability for users to leave comments on your embedded videos, you can’t change the content of the comments themselves. If you don’t like what people are saying in the comments section of the video, your only real option is to either hide the comments or deal with it.

6. Interaction with YouTube's UI: The player comes with a lot of YouTube branding, logos, and the typical play/pause interface, and there’s no way to remove these unless you use a custom solution. You also can’t add your own custom overlays or UI elements to the video directly through the embed code.

The Bottom Line

In conclusion, it’s impossible to filter embedded YouTube videos directly via the embed code in any meaningful way. You can control minor things like autoplay, resolution, and start/end times, but YouTube’s embed system doesn’t give you any tools to modify or filter the content within the video itself. For anything more complex, like removing ads or changing parts of the video, you’d need to rely on external tools or custom player solutions that require a lot of setup.

So, yeah—if you’re looking for an easy, plug-and-play way to filter YouTube content within an embed, you’re out of luck. It’s just not something YouTube allows in its current embed structure, and unless you're willing to dive deep into coding or use third-party players, you’re stuck with what the platform provides. 😬

I predicted this BTW and also this wouldn't have happened if the 'ru had less coal
Also this would take a lot of extra work but having an embed whitelist could work too
