Yep, it worked. I picked a video already posted in a different thread (in [this post](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/most-jaw-dropping-wtf-television-moment-you-ve-seen-scripted-division/1007283/84)) here and simply cut/pasted it into the post without triggering the error message. (See [this](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-to-avoid-the-youtube-posting-bug/1007499/8) thread for the reason.)

So on my phone, pasting in Youtube URLs does _not_ need any tricks, even if the video has been posted before.
