I’m not in favour of scanning the content of many to serve the few. YouTube urls are compatible with piped urls so you could simply copy/paste them and replace the urls if you prefer that (which I do).
That being said, you’re open to create a bot account yourself (and mark it as such in the account settings) and set up the bot. As long as there are no complaints, you’re free to do that.

Allright! :)
