A datapoint: the youtube videos on the GTN homepage, despite being above the fold, sees terrible engagement and we will be moving it elsewhere. About 1-3 views a day, out of 2k uniques. And for the other 1999 users it negatively impacts page load times and privacy.

That's a great data point, thanks. Very surprising. Do you know if that's views embedded on the page or views after being redirected to YouTube?
