Share the page that has preview tags, not the JavaScript route

Browse source 
Preview crawlers do not run JavaScript, so the /v/<code> route — which is the
home page plus a client-side redirect — gives them nothing. The published
/v/<code>.html page carries real og:image, og:video and a real video element in
the served source. Five characters longer, and the difference between a card
someone taps and a bare grey link.
