oh wow... this is awesome...
you're actually "exploiting" the <img> tag's multimedia capabilities there by just pointing the source directly to the video on IPFS [further reading]
This might not work on all browsers and devices, but it's probably working for the majority of users.
I would hope dtube will make that a standard in their original post-format asap, but I guess they do appreciate getting traffic on their own site too much?!
P.S.: I just tried steempeak, partiko and busy, they all don't allow the video source and just show a clickable text-link
P.P.S.: I did some further digging... and I've been talking out of my arse apparently... the truth is: STEEMIT (condenser) has actually integrated support for dtube embeds and this isn't a html hack at all!! -> https://github.com/steemit/condenser/commit/45b635eea1b7525b51a78f5e1ce7d4a2d8cf3cb6
So Steemit has supported this since May, and D.tube is just a rude site haha.
Weird that Partiko can properly display the D.tube videos for the normal posts, but Steemit does not. I wonder why that is. Do the other front ends display the video?
