@zachleat The idea that one 'youtube embed weighs 1.2 MB' reminds me of something I heard years ago. A government project required developing software going into an airplane. "What does it weight?" "Huh?" "Everything in an airplane has to specify a weight." So, they listed the weight of a floppy disk. This caused a major complaint: "You are way out of line on the price per pound ratio." Finally they explained it as "tooling costs."
