I don't like the Piped bot at all.
What should be posted on the internet should be the canonical source of some content, not a proxy for it. If users prefer a proxy, they should configure their clients to redirect to the proxy. Piped instances come and go and the entire project is at the mercy of Google tolerating it/not taking action against it, so it could be gone tomorrow.
I use piped myself. I have client-side configurations which simply redirects all Youtube links to my piped instance. No need for any bots here.
