Describe the bug
The Watch on Odysee button isn’t safe and can be manipulated by YouTube channel owners by inserting an Odysee link in the description. This can be exploited to farm invites, for example, and it leads to bad UX as well.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVjSssfQzOo
- Click on "Watch on Odysee"
- See that you’re now "invited" by the channel and get a weird notification
