Why the switch to a YT video for the banner?

Thumbnails for those are loaded from YT's image servers. This, in theory, allows YT to monitor which IP's all load the same thumbnail image repeatedly and thus identify QResearch patrons. This is why you should filter ID's that post multiple YT music vids.

If you're going to use a video in place of a static image then see if you can do it through HookTube (just change the "you" to "hook" in the URL).

We should all get back in the habit of doing that.
