I’m curious, what this watchkin.com link is for? I expected, that this is some SaaS like invidio.us — a substitute for mpv+youtube-dl / weboob / minitube / newpipe / etc to watch youtube.com videos avoiding running nonfree scripts, but it’s not: it still contains nonfree scripts.
So why to provide it? And why only for the first video?

Well, I already mentioned one service that might used as a substitute for a free youtube.com client — invidio.us, so the links will be:
— https://invidio.us/watch?v=7UbQ1kc1vQU
— https://invidio.us/watch?v=ZGF17TbbBcE
But actually I would advice _against_ providing them instead of original youtube.com ones.
Not only because that’s a SaaS(S) [1] with all negative implications, like a chance of being shut down at any moment in future. But also because it provides practical inconvenience for the free software users right now: if your system is configured to opens youtube.com links in a player of your choice, it probably does not do the same for any of those SaaS client. Moreover, I don’t think it is possible at all to make, say, NewPipe or SkyTube (free youtube.com clients for *droid-like OS) to handle invidio.us links without patching and recompiling them.
