They serve videos. That can be easily more costly than the cut they get.

They serve videos for what percent of pages? And they could make that an extra fee; plenty of creators seem to be happy with unlisted youtube videos.

They have zero reason to lose significant money over the video feature, especially since it's still in closed beta.

Don't they use Vimeo?

They do currently run a closed beta of their own video thing, so technically they do serve video, but the vast majority of videos on Patreon are indeed embeds from Vimeo (or other sites, but Vimeo has a direct integration)
