Summary of Changes
Changes YT importer feature so that it will now post new videos as rich embeds to a user's channel, rather than the previous functionality where it would pull and transcode videos from YouTube. The rationale behind this is that Google deprecated the endpoint we used which prevented the feature from working and also rate limits were quite excessive when it was functional.
Testing Considerations

- Make a youtube channel for development
- Upload a small video - can be anything
- Connect your YT account following instructions at settings/other/youtube-migration - HOWEVER use the sandbox domain instead of minds.com in your bio.
- Test UI
Backend
Automatically
If you upload a video to the youtube channel, it should be posted to your channel after processing.
