The downvotes came from when OP posted a random Google drive link instead of selecting a proper host for the video. OP then quietly changed the link.
The downvotes mostly came from the bad hosting of a video, and are still deserved as OP never mentioned that they changed the video host, which is bad.
That is the point of a GD link, it leads to a file in someone’s storage on GD, the point is that it could point to any kind of file, and as a random reader, I have no way of identifying the content before accessing it.

FYl, the google drive link is not random but leads to the video in my storage.

Thanks for pointing out my mistake. This is the fediverse, and l’ve got to be more open.
