I actually think you missed a great opportunity with this video service!

Instead of integrating video content into articles, the service could spin off into its own part of the site, much like Fandom already has. Users could upload their own original video content, and the staff, Wikia Stars, etc. could release the level of professional content described here. It would be a great source of revenue, and your existing resources such as SEO could surely make the platform a viable alternative to the current YouTube monopoly.

Just think&mdash;YouTubers dissatisfied with how YouTube is operating could now move their content and fanbases to your site, and all without the potential for negative reception from existing article writers who already have access to a video embed service! But what's more is that communities wanting the kind of video integration you're already offering could now simply embed first-party content, for the same results and more! I'm no expert, but I think this would have been a very successful plan.
