  Professional hosting for business use is not hard, and fairly common even. But these make up a tiny fraction of YouTube videos, and they mostly post there to get organic growth and be suggested to people already watching YouTube.

    Sure but it’s really common to see embedded youtube videos on storefronts, and if storefronts en masse abandoned it that’s one more piece of the market that youtube has lost.

    They can’t keep locking it down and not lose market share, is my point. They’re enshittifying so much, so fast, and eventually there will be a tipping point.

      They can very much afford to lose a tiny amount of marketshare in exchange for increased ad and subscription revenue, is my point.

        “Massive increase” I think needs a source.

        And they rely on the network effect to be the de facto standard video hoster. Every little bit of that network that they carve off while they’re enshittifying brings them closer to the critical point where people can afford to ditch them.

        The logic that they can “afford” to lose marketshare is exactly what will make them keep losing it until people migrate en masse and they lose all of their marketshare.

  Seems it’s fixed now?

  source

  • Excrubulent@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Could be, maybe it’s intermittent, but the more times they try to lock this shit down and it stops working for storefronts, the more unreliable it becomes.

    What percentage of visits can they afford to have this error happen before they seek alternatives? If it were my business and I didn’t know how many customers were closing the store page because the video didn’t play and they lost interest, I would be immediately looking for an alternative.

    is that a possible workaround? Also, a tip from my school trying to block YouTube (idk if it applies here) is that you can ‘add to queue’ to where it plays in the corner then there’s a button to make it bigger.

  other companies needing a video hosting solution that they can rely on to run their storefronts is a perfect use case.

  Many companies use Vimeo for this.

  I watch embedded videos all the time. Literally hundreds this weekend. Embedded is not “de facto blocked”.

  • Excrubulent@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Well I now can’t unless I disable my VPN. Storefronts would probably like VPN users to be able to use their stores, in which case they might be more interested in an alternative.
