Text turns purple after click

Question

I find that the text turns purple with an underline after the link is clicked. Even when I refresh it a few times, it still remains purple with an underline. How can I keep the text from changing?

            <a
              href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2RNcPRtAiY"
              target="_blank"
            >
              <p class="video-title">
                Talking Tech and AI with Google CEO Sundar Pichai!
              </p>
            </a>

          </div>

That is the standard way that browsers indicate that a link is a visited link (e.g. the URL it points to appears in the user's browser history).

Apply CSS to change it. You will probably want to use the :visited pseudo-class.

MDN has an introduction to CSS if you need it.

The easiest way would be to remove the default styles for the "a" tag itself. This will solve your issue
