When a post contains a YouTube link, the video should be displayed directly in the timeline as an embedded player or a preview with a thumbnail and Play button. This would allow users to watch the video without leaving the news feed, providing a smoother and more engaging experience.

Technical suggestion:
    Automatically detect YouTube links.
    Generate an embedded player or a video preview.
    Load the video only after the user clicks Play.
    Use youtube-nocookie.com to better protect user privacy and anonymity.
