Solved Having Difficulty Whitelisting Websites

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to implement an automod code that will filter all websites except for those on a whitelist. The issue I'm having is that the automod filters all websites, including ones on the whitelist. Here's the code I'm using:

type: any    
body+url (includes): ['http://', 'https://', 'www.']
~body+url (includes): ['reddit.com.', 'redd.it', 'youtube.com', 'youtu.be', 'spotify.com']    
action: filter    
action_reason: 2.5 link verification filter - [ {{match}} ]    
moderators_exempt: true

So for example, when people try to link to other Reddit posts or comments, their comments are still getting filtered.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it? Thank you in advance!

Edit: After some experimentation, it turns out it was that superfluous period in "reddit.com.". Brain fart. I'm embarrassed but I'm leaving the post up as a lesson to others to proofread your scripts.

Thank you so much to everyone for your help!

That's not how matching modifiers work. You might be confusing them with subgroups.

And when two fields conflict, automod generally uses the latter field.

Indeed, out of curiosity, and after removing that stray period, I tried it under both MustaKotka's structure, and under the original structure. Both work fine with the extra period removed.
