Bro never memorised the link… πŸ’€

Pro tip: be careful when the video ID starts with "dQw". Only these 3 letters tell you about the video you are getting into.

No I do have it memorized. I just haven't had to look at the links like that for awhile. Crow swooped in at the right time with thier tomfoolery.

And they even left the full link in plain sight, instead of an inline link.
So really, we only have ourselves to blame if we fell for it. Good job, Crow.

I usually go with the last three. The mnemonic, "xcq, link stays blue" helps.

Surely there are other videos that start with the same ID...but they probably never get watched because everyone is like, "HA! You're not rickrolling me!"

Trust me, dude. In all of me life, I've never seen another video with a similar ID. This combination is unique. You see, them you already know what you're clicking on.
