You could put a CDN in front of the static content (the videos are likely 99% of YouTube's bandwidth), and you could use Heroku for serving the few kilobytes of HTML.

Most are still way more expensive than dedicated server traffic and "fixed price" CDNs like Cloudflare are going to give you the boot if you serve >100TB on their 20 bucks plan and/or a lot of larger files.
