Often, if I find a dead video and already have a replacement ready, I will just use *backup and then replace the dead embed with the working one. This saves a lot of effort compared to *deading it and waiting two days for it to become fixable.

My question is: By doing this, am I missing out on a lot of necromancer badges? And if so, is it possible to make this unorthodox method also count towards a badge? I just looked at @kronosposeidon's profile and got jealous at all the bling.
