I think that this was a serious mistake. YouTube makes it so easy to embed videos and that's a large part of their charm and how they attracted so many visitors to begin with. This leaves little incentive for video bloggers and regular bloggers to evangelize the site. The only content that does seem to get uploaded to stage 6 is a lot of pirated Japanese animation. I love the quality on stage 6, but without a good way to share that, there's no way the site will ever take off in the way that they'd like. Instead of disabling the the embeded links, they should have figured out a way to drive visitors to the site to see full screen content. Nice bird by the way Stage 6 used to have support for embedded videos, but they disabled it after they weren’t getting enough hits to the actual site. I think that this was a serious mistake.
