It's also not some "oopsie". It's almost certainly not news but these sites want these 'one more' behaviors.

Years ago, I designed a minimalist YouTube player that removed video suggestions and autoplays but used their player, didn't evade ads, etc. I got banned by Google because they disallow any alternative site for YouTube, only embeds are allowed.

Pretty sure I am still banned on all Google APIs too.
