Images and Videos tend, in comaprison to text, consume a lot of data even if compressed. This additional data leads to a stark increase in bandwidth usage when accessing a video compared to, e.g., a (text) blog.
Because cloudflare is the one handling most of the bandwidth usage and routing this amounts to a significant cost for them (more servers, bigger pipes, ...).
