I see, I always presumed the blockchain could only store text because of the blocksize and Dapps linked the blockchain to external storages

You can see examples of the type of stuff the steem blockchain holds here:
https://steemblockexplorer.com/block/26378428
and you can see raw transaction data related to transactions verified in a given block by choosing the link to the transaction id for any of the multiple transactions occurring on that page! :)
You could store bytecode, for example, on the steem blockchain if you wanted to, and that bytecode could be representative of video data, etc.; now, it is at a DApps discretion what they try to upload/what they do upload and how they divide resources, but the possibilities of what you store on the blockchain are limitless (with an associated cost, of course).
