That's at least a 30 minute job for any given submission.
That would mean that Peardian would need to dedicate about 71 hours to clear the current queue of pending submissions. Also, an additional 216 solid days of working non-stop to get the site caught up to the same format. By which time it's possible the site will disable embeds, or add external advertising we aren't in control of.
And in addition to all of this, even if all of that work was somehow feasible, there was no worries of the site disabling embeds, and no worries of them injecting ads, it means that our content is no longer hosted on our site and that leaves lot of avenues for things to break.

Just to confirm what Dazz said, while that information is tracked, it's not visible for reasons I've never understood. I can tell you if you'd really like to know though.
