wtf is wrong with youtube these days? I am watching this video in 1080p, the highest resolution, and it looks more pixelated than I've ever seen on a video. And it's not a temporary buffer issue. I've reloaded and rewatched from the start, and it continues to look like this. I also frequently have 20s freezes for buffering on a video when I have 500Mbps down speeds. Is youtube just cheaping out on bandwidth to save money or what

Not the point op is making you snarky fucking faggot.

I miss Apple trailers so much it's unreal. High-bitrate 4k downloads but no, we must cater to all the retarded cattle and just delete it all. How embarrassing for Nolan knowing paramount's retarded interns can't upload a 4k video to Susan tube.

anyone else purposely turn the resolution down? i don't like needlessly using up bandwidth when the video is already legible

browsers are one of the worst ways to consume your videos. they have very basic video hardware acceleration. many people use yt dlp on mpv or mpc-hc because they actually utilize your GPU far better. not talking about battery life or no framedrops im talking about quality.
