Looks like they commited a change to Piped bot two hours ago which accidentally removed the functionality to actually change the link. Whoops!

Do you have a name / user id of a piped bot developer? Because while we're at it, I think that bot should also avoid responding to itself - which would also prevent such a scenario completely.
