Possible Outdated YouTube URL Schemes

Created on 26 September 2023, about 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

While examining various YouTube URL schemes, I've come across several that might be outdated or no longer in use. My preliminary tests were conducted using the YouTube oembed endpoint:

https://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB1ahuULdvo

Little information regarding YouTube URLs from Google: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6180214?hl=en

Here are the URL schemes that could be outdated:

http://*.youtube.com/v/*
https://*.youtube.com/v/*
http://*.youtube.com/user/*
https://*.youtube.com/user/*
http://*.youtube.com/*#*/*
https://*.youtube.com/*#*/*
http://m.youtube.com/index*
https://m.youtube.com/index*
http://*.youtube.com/profile*
https://*.youtube.com/profile*
http://*.youtube.com/view_play_list*
https://*.youtube.com/view_play_list*

If these schemes are indeed obsolete, it might be beneficial to consider removing them.
