Emphasis mine. Episode discussions are created here constantly, so what's the problem with linking a full legal episode of an anime?

The idea that if it was a trailer it would be fine is ridiculous

I'm probably not going to watch anything hosted on YouTube (I blocked it completely a while back), but I don't think it's a big deal if someone links the first episode of something that's legit freely available (i.e. not pirated) as long as they're not being spammy about it.

Edit: to expand on that, we're not exactly getting flooded with posts and that kind of restriction from reddit is more because of volume than anything, I think.

I'm not a mod of course, but I think posting full episode links would overshadow the bot discussion posts. We have those for a reason. At least for seasonal stuff.
