Comment:

 The reason for this is that the `/embed/` endpoint is intended as a link
 to the actual video player source, and as such does not have oEmbed
 discovery on YouTube's end.

 I would say it's expected behavior that we can't embed it since discovery
 doesn't exist, to sort it we would have to start stripping content from
 URLs and re-testing, I feel like we shouldn't be modifying the URLs a user
 supplies?

 In light of this being expected behavior from the YouTube side of things,
 I'm in favor of `wontfix`.
