Yes, but it comes at the cost of quality/bandwidth. When it comes to videos you can trade image quality for file size. High end nvidia GPUs are better in bit rate constrained situations for streaming, but they're not as good at reducing file size as the slower encoders. When it comes to video hosting it's largely about bandwidth. Imagine you had a video that got 1 million views. 110 MB vs 100 MB file size. That's 110 TB vs 100 TB bandwidth - a difference of 10 TB. At a cent per GB that's $100 difference. Now imagine a video with 10 million views or 100 million views. And the real difference in file size is likely to be larger.
