To clarify, the key line is "a disproportionate amount of non-HTML content". Serving videos isn't prohibited but CF still has to prevent free plan websites from becoming huge loss-leaders.
Another big asterisk is that this applies to all proxied (DDOS-protected) content, not just the ones that use the CF cache. CF pays for all of their uplink bandwidth out-of-pocket regardless of if it's cached. You can see what happens when you proxy multiple terabytes of content on the free plan in this thread[0] (again all proxied bandwidth costs CF, which is why this user had their zone unproxied).
