The uploader appears to want people to watch his/her other vids and comment, like/dislike, or subscribe and thinks that by forcing people to watch it on YouTube they will do that (I've tried thinking of other possible reasons but the only possible ones are all promotional to the uploader.) But if someone is interested in the video, they would most likely actually go to YouTube to do those things already, having to go to YouTube to watch it serves no purpose.
YouTube is at fault here because they do this on request, so when someone decides that people should have to go to YouTube, with all its advertisements, crappy video suggestions, and comments YouTube is ok with it. Also, you'll notice that it only tells you you have to watch it on YouTube after you've already clicked and it's showing those video suggestions. Sure a preview image is good, but why doesn't the text about embedding being disabled simply show in the bottom overtop the image?
Good video tho.
