In Germany / Europe we have this shitty policy privacy (GDPR) that you are not allowed to use YoutTube Videos in the background if the user didn't accept it. I could load the video on my server, but because I want to have the lowest traffic cost, where would you put the video?
There are other video hosting services (e.g. Vimeo) available. But, it might be good to think about what you're trying to accomplish; many (most?) people strongly dislike videos that start playing automatically. Perhaps you'd have happier users/visitors if you don't auto-play videos?
@tnorthcutt Here watch this in action. I would say this should not be a problem for users.
Vimeo is also an American company so it's a no go as well :(
How expensive would this video example be when I leave it on digitalocean? Let's say with 30k viewers per month?
