Easy and all others confused about swimming butterfly,
In the short axis strokes (fly and ***), the legs are as important as the arms, sometimes moreso. Kick hard and completely every stroke, and you will find yourself swimming downhill, as some have described it. In order to improve your kick, you must do core exercises, sit ups, crunches, and back lifts. Kick in workout, do these dryland exercises, and everything else will come together.
Easy, in your video, you are swimming uphill for two reasons. 1. you are not kicking enough or at all, and 2. your arm recovery is too pronounced. It is good that you have shoulder flexibility, but don't use it in that manner, it makes your hands slap the water on entry, rather than knifing into it (thumbs first, sweep out, pull back and in).
