- * The shadowDom / Intersection Observer version of Paul's concept:
- * https://github.com/paulirish/lite-youtube-embed
- *
- * A lightweight YouTube embed. Still should feel the same to the user, just
- * MUCH faster to initialize and paint.
- *
- * Thx to these as the inspiration
- *   https://storage.googleapis.com/amp-vs-non-amp/youtube-lazy.html
- *   https://autoplay-youtube-player.glitch.me/
