Comment:

 You can write the url in the visual tab and have the oEmbed kick in with
 no way to remove it. Only if you decide you're creating a link and click
 the link button can you get around it.

 Also, this shouldn't be happing by default – it should be detecting it has
 oEmbed and asking **'should this link show a preview'**, not just
 overwriting and embedding.

 I feel like it's perhaps a feature that is needs a setting in the MEDIA to
 control this. I don't believe it should be enabled by default with a
 plugin to disable it.

 > I suggest that you don't simply paste the link into the plain text, but
 instead set it as a link via the editor. This way, there's no embed
 created, and the reader can click on the link to open the linked site
 directly, without having to copy the URL into a new browser window or so.
