It’s not just small websites, though. Government information websites use YouTube too. Even activist websites criticizing the tech monopolies host with YouTube embeds. Even the distributed web/P2P platform IPFS hosts videos on YouTube instead of using it’s own P2P stack.

Anyhow: the point was that it’s too difficult to embed videos even if you’re willing to bear the hosting cost.

It costs roughly 0.0015 USD per hour video in 480p/VP9 hosted with BunnyCDN. The cost is manageable.
