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 watch everything in 480p just because my internet is crap.
I perceived my 32mbps wifi as minimal requieement in 2012 -_-
Great. Try 32mbps in 2023, with 3-5+ people streaming off it, and/or gaming on it, at once.
