Lets say rails.

1. add devise so users are users

2. add Video controller/model

3. connect data field as active_storage, backed by amazon

4. have video tag with link to uploaded file stored on amazon.

To embed advertising, avoid simple downloading of video content, and add bells and whistles like timeline preview thumbs, custom context menus, etc.. I guess.
