There's a reason the link is deliberately sabotaged. Whenever a functioning link is clicked, the target site (Youtube, in this case) registers the web page from which the link was clicked (The Tickling Media Forum, in this case). So assuming for a moment the posted link was functional, every time one of us clicks it to go check out the clip, they know it was a tickling fetishist who watched that clip.
There have been countless incidents in which clips like this were removed by the parties who posted them, assumedly because they objected to their material being used for "offbeat" behavior, wink wink.
And so a new practice was adopted here at the TMF. When posting Youtube links, they are slightly modified just enough to make them unclickable, but still preserve their vital information. Usually a space or a period is inserted. This requires some small effort on the part of us viewers. We must copy the posted link and paste it into a separate browser tab. We then remove the space or period and hit enter.
Voila. We watch the clip, while the Youtube folks have no idea of our masturbatory intent.
The link posted in the OP of this thread was butchered a little more than usual. What I ended up doing was this.
1. Copied the part of the link that identifies this particular clip... youtu.be/
DxDY6jzqcsU?t=1m24s.
2. Opened a new browser tab and went to
www.youtube.com.
3. Pasted the copied code into Youtube's search field at the top of the screen and clicked on the magnifying glass.
The search yielded only one result - the clip in question.
