Well, who pays to host the videos? They eat up storage space and bandwidth.
Self-hosting seems to be the answer I always receive, but that just shifts the cost and effort to the person posting, which greatly raises the friction to post.
There's a reason why the companies behind this stuff are worth billions of dollars: they own and run gigantic server farms.
