Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When sharing videos ol that a hosted on v.reddit, there should be a sharing embed link sharing. Currently, there's link to "video" which shows the whole reddit post and sometimes it discourages my friends from clicking cause they get distracted on reddit. An embeded link would just show the video and even bypass age/nsfw login to view it.

Describe the solution you'd like
Offer embedded link

Original comment post link to a video, before conversion:

https://www.reddit.com/r/WinStupidPrizes/comments/z01mj8/

Embeded video (removed everything after ".com' to the end of "comments") and replaces that with "mediaembed"

After conversion:

https://www.reddit.com/mediaembed/z01mj8/

Overall, it's cleaner url and only shows the video without comments and other reddit crap.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually editing the link before sharing .
