YSK that you might get more bites if you actually tell people where the link goes - include the name of the video at the very least.
In this day and age, people are pretty well conditioned against clicking on random links.

This is a link to YouTube, I just found an interesting video about our future.

But what’s the title of the video? Who is it by?
Remember, you’re largely talking to strangers here - it’s not the same as sending a link to someone who knows you and saying “watch this, it’s interesting!”. You need to give people enough information to decide whether they’ll be interested before clicking on it.
For example, for all know it could be a video of that insufferable Kirk guy who’s been popping up in my feed recently. The last thing I want is the algorithm thinking I like clicking on links of him!

If a friend sent me this via email I’d think they’d been hacked and it was a scam

Well, I tried before, but people didn’t care. I even stopped formatting my posts properly. I got tired of hearing responses like, “I don’t want to fight anymore. I gave up and I’m scared.” Why should I try to explain something in detail if no one cares?

There - it was that simple. Literally the minimum you needed to provide.
Now people can make an informed decision.
