kattuviriyan··on Instagram Stabbing Itself By Leaving Twitter Cards Off
Yes. It is easy to insert ads to the embedded video(YouTube). It's not the case with embedded Images.It only helps to improve the Twitter experience. I don't remember clicking on the images(when they allowed it) to go the Instagram site. Nowadays, I sometimes click on the Instagaram links based on the info provided.

Probably the stub found that you already have Chrome installed.
kattuviriyan··on Captchas Are Becoming Ridiculous
