1/**
2 * A lightweight youtube embed. Still should feel the same to the user, just MUCH faster to initialize and paint.
3 *
4 * Thx to these as the inspiration
5 *   https://storage.googleapis.com/amp-vs-non-amp/youtube-lazy.html
6 *   https://autoplay-youtube-player.glitch.me/
7 *
8 * Once built it, I also found these:
