also you could just embed a self-hosted image that links to youtube. presumably if somebody clicks on the image with the youtube logo on it they know they're going to youtube

I’ve done this in the past by literally grabbing a screenshot of the video thumbnail (and the play button) and adding a link to that image.

Sure, it won’t play in the same page and won’t be up to date with thumbnail or other presentation changes but I didn’t care - it was a small image that also didn’t include any executable code or privacy risks.

I'd like to see Peertube clients as widely available as Wordpress clients. They don't have to be federated. You can just host your own stuff.

any browser works as a peertube client; do you mean "peertube installations" and "wordpress installations", or are you talking about the software used to view videos?
