Hmm. I had to check an old journal where I used the tag and it does still seem to work.

Try removing the ?si=blahblahblah portion. That's Stream Information tagging, a.k.a. tracking info Google uses to figure out who you're sharing the link with, and it's unnecessary for playback and worth clipping out of their URLs.

On testing, I think the yt tag hates shorts (It's okay; I do too). Had to view it as a proper video for the embed to work: [ yt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJB7etK6wS8[/yt] (remove space in first tag)

Yep, that worked! Thank you :)

"less people are living in poverty"
Depends on what metric of poverty is used. Billionaire philanthropists like to throw around subjective results that make them look good, by performing data gerrymandering.
The truth is economic inequality has widened in most countries over the last few decades and half of the world still lives on under $7 a day.

On crime, here in the uk at least violent crime has increased significantly since 2013.

Sorry if this is a bit ranty but I hate seeing the "poverty is falling" propaganda being pushed (mostly by Our World in Data, which receives large grants from the Gates Foundation, which should hopefully be an obvious conflict of interest) while the reality proves otherwise.

Hmm, dunno..
The world certainly needs some counter pole to all the negativity in news. A counter pole that is not fixated on a messiah-like figure. If it is donations that lead to that existing, then so be it...

I agree the news is pretty negative, but positivity shouldn't come from sugarcoating serious issues, there are other places to get it from.
