I can easily do that, it was more POC with various compression and codecs.
Discourse is limited to only a few video file extensions, I tried about 4 others that discourse said
I can add extensions to discourse, but I’m going for max compatability so that would defeat the purpose.

Maybe it should redirect to a very minimal HTML page with the rickroll and the dangerous things logo that takes you to the home page.
Just use the YouTube url.
When reading with YouTube app open it immediately opens while non YouTube url asks to open browser.

YouTube has ads though, which ruin the joke

I think if you add a timecode to the URL it skips ads at the beginning. So add ?t=1
to start at second 1 of the video.
I could be be completely wrong though, I have and adblocker and use vanced on the phone.

Nope… I like to use one stamps to get my Rick rolls to the right spot… and ads still ruin it

It directs to a minimized video, and doesn’t auto play
May be a phone security limitation with iOS
Also it’s missing the a second or 2 or the drum intro
If I may make a suggestion, starting at 43ish of the original may be a better starting location

Android and Chrome for me autoplays
Equipter:
iphone is a no
There’s gotta be a way though…
a gif may work
iphones are stubborn on auto launching anything. same reason why “tap to respond” happens from scanning urls on nfc

Odd that a gif works because our brains fill in the music
