No one would watch videos in GARBAGEp resolution when 1080p is right behind a corner on YT
I deliberately lower streaming quality on everything I watch. If the thing is really worth it I might watch it in 720p. Everything else goes in 480p.
The push for 4k is a level of consumerism I'm not comfortable with, having the world going to shit as fast as it's going.
I don't really care for 4K. The diminishing returns isn't worth it, and it's really turning into a bandwidth problem for the major players that offer it for free.
But, I can't get behind 480p. That shit is garbage resolution, especially on a TV or computer.
