When posting links to videos

When people post links to videos, there are some I cant access on my computer. If links are posted like this, and the first one cant be seen, the second one goes to facebook where the video can be seen. Put "url in square brackets" at the beginning, and "/url in square brackets" at the end. To see the actual text, click on quote. I cant get it to display here.

Some things still get blocked. I am probably not the only one.

Your internet signal is too low.

It is because of browser settings, which I dont know how to change. The browser blocks some ads, so the internet sites block some content. I can normally see the videos when I go to the sites, but I cant access some on this forum. There must be others experiencing the same thing.

Do you use an Ad Blocker?
What browser are you using?

Mozilla Firefox with Linux Mint.
No. But I believe Firefox blocks some ads.
I raised this issue because I suspect others are also unable to see some videos. If anyone can say for sure it is only me, dont worry about it.

Not sure whether you are giving advice or asking for help.

If it is only me, it doesnt matter.
I highly suspect others are unable to see some videos. By posting two different types of links, people should be able to see more videos.

he's asking you to change the way you post videos because he cannot see them sometimes, and says perhaps others cannot as well.
