@dansup @joergi @pixelfed @elena my 2 cents here, you can also use Bunny Stream to embed a video without transferring any visitor information to Google and co. Bunny is a European and 100% GDPR compliant company, and they're very cheap (you only pay for the used bandwidth basically, and depending on the mirror locations you wanna create). I personally use it for my clients. Obviously relying on a robust #peertube instance would definitely be more aligned with the content of the video, but yeah there's a cost to pay when escaping from YouTube.
EDIT: I just read the end of this thread and saw that a bigger peertube instance can host it, good news!
