The youtube regex matches the links that have more than 5 characters at the end.
I changed the regex and added @ like so (?:<a.*?)?(?:https?:\/\/)?(?:www\.)?(?:youtube\.com\/(?!user|channel|@)\S*(?:(?:\/e(?:mbed))?\/|watch\?(?:\S*?&?v\=))|youtu\.be\/)([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{6,11})(?:.*?\/a>)?
Not sure if it's the best way or if you want to handle it differently. As far as I can see these are not links to videos so they shouldn't turn into embeds.
