Slightly tangential but if you've ever looked at the data transferred on a youtube video in the network tab they're actually suprisingly tiny (as far as I've seen). Often only like 10 MB for multi minute downloads. Top notch compression (not surprising).

I have never once been inconvenienced by the initial JS bundle download of youtube. After the first load, the site functions almost like a native app with very snappy page changes.
