Then why do they bring up the Flash player when I've opted in to the HTML5 preview?



Probably because they haven't implemented all of the same features in HTML5 as they have in the Flash version, such as ad overlays and annotations. It's up to the person posting the videos whether or not to use these features, and if they do, it forces the player to use Flash.


For ads (and DRM).


The HTML5 player can play ads too...
