I continue to be baffled how many websites rely on YouTube embeds to show videos, especially marketing/brand websites where you don't usually want other unrelated logos on the page. It's really not that hard to self-host and embed videos, there has been native support since HTML5.

Until you miss audio, the playback isn't hardware accelerated and the phone gets hot, the video is broken, there's no thumbnail, you don't have access to a web dev and and and..

YouTube is so bland a brand I don't think it hurts anyone but the biggest companies.
