I'm not saying embed the file I the description. Add a URL that points to the asset like we've been doing forever... This solves nothing.

This works really well until it doesn't. I have seen so, so, so many videos have linked content in the description that links to sites which don't work anymore.

    > links to sites

    Wait so your expectation is that instead of Youtubers using URLs to link to websites, you would prefer and expect that they download and embed those websites into their videos for you? Like, a zip file of the whole site? For.... convenience?

    Have you considered using archive.org or mirrors instead?

    There are an infinite number of better solutions for this...
