One important tip from that community to be more successful:

Do not use the "original" link, but link a YouTube short. Why?

  1. It's not the known link ("XcQ")
  2. Shorts do autoplay
  3. Shorts are ad free
  4. Shorts are optimized for mobile and usually start playing quickly

Where as the original link will probably just dump you to 1-3 pre roll ads and the rickroll is only seeing the title and closing the tab/app...
