Does anyone know if the Appstart Youtube Gateway is reliable?

I've been trying out the appstart youtube gateway to get larger thumbnails after trying scorphq and link2fb, the latter two were being insta-deleted and flagged as spam. The appstart links work but I've been testing them and it looks like the views are unreliable at best. For example when I viewed one of my own videos on a proxy it didn't show up in youtube analytics at all. The video metrics on a couple pages don't jive with my youtube views either, same with a couple vids I put up on personal accounts. Does anyone have any experience with the appstart youtube gateway? Is there another way to directly post videos with large thumbnails to facebook?
