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
