Wanna embed videos from a Rails app?
⛔ ActiveStorage
⛔ Youtube
✅ Vimeo

Why not Youtube?
✅ no Youtube branding & ads = premium feel 👑
✅ has basic security features 🔐 ("embeddable only on selected domains")

Why not ActiveStorage?
✅ auto encoding (720, 1080 etc), 💾
✅ auto bandwidth management 📈 📉
✅ easy to customize the player 💅
✅ analytics 📈
✅ cheap, fixed annual cost; not usage based like MUX(dot)com, or AWS S3 💰
