(Excerpt) Read more at youtu.be ...
youtu.be?
Can someone esplain to me why the hyperlink says YouTube and the url is youtu.be?
I wouldn’t click it!
Scaredy cat! ;~) It’s YouTube. Poster most likely typo’d.
Nope, I looked at the actual URL under the href.
it’s “youtu.be”.
“.be” is a registered Belgium domain.
No one attempts to represent themselves as someone else without a nefarious purpose.
Y’all are right to be suspicious.
However, in this case it appears to be just a “URL shortener”.

Thank you, Tick. I’m not well-versed in these matters!
You done good. As per the title of Andy Grove’s book, “Only The Paranoid Survive”.
Andy Grove co-founded Intel. I trust his judgment. :-)
Oh for pete’s sake, youtube has been shortening their url’s
under the “share” option for a couple of months now.
Belgian URL lol! sheesh!
