Why do you unironically watch your videos above 360p/480p when its not even fucking necessary to watch above those qualities?

Why not?

Why wouldn't I?
There is no reason to watch blurry shit.

Because I don't have Australian internet

My craptop only has a 720p screen, and setting Youtube to 720p takes up all of my resources. I usually stay at a comfy 480, and 720 if I need fine detail (like if I'm watching someone use a computer).

> unironically watch your videos
How can you even watch it "ironically"? What is that?

step up your game mate

buy 1080p screen

stubble fetish

what the fuck does this even mean? Does youtube still have ultra-low-definition videos as an option? What kind of 1990s machine do you have that can't even handle 720p?

>tfw I watch everything in 4k on a 1080p monitor

it's not even about the resolution m8

480p youtube videos are bitstarved

they get blocky like yify movies

>watching 1080p60fps youtube vids on a X220
>go on my iMac and put all videos to 144p

all I need is 240p

>they get blocky like yify movies
wat? get rid of mpv you fucking nerd

>why do you watch in hd which your non-shit internet can handle when you can be stuck in 2007?
>being this fucking retarded

>get rid of mpv you fucking nerd
no

Are you a tard with a display from the 1900s?

It makes so much sense

90s CRTs could go pretty fucking high res. Much harder on LCD/plasmas.

are you using a cellphone? do you normally wear glasses? do you never watch videos fullscreen?

even the 1080p videos on youtube are relatively low bitrate
i use lower resolutions when appropriate (other people in the house waiting on downloads, non-fullscreen, mobile if i watched video on it, etc)

In case of videos/animoe 480p CRT is more than enough for me.

1900s and 90s is quite different

90s is just a 10% subset

he wasn't wrong just vague

>the 1990s not a subset of the 1900s

>Does youtube still have ultra-low-definition videos as an option?
yep, their lowest format is 176x144 3gp video

1900s refers to 1900-1909 too

it should only refer to that, really
otherwise it's confusing, use "20th century" if you want 1900-1999

I typically have them at 360p, since a lot of the time I have them in the tiny as fuck YouTube window, and otherwise the highest I go is 720p, since I have a measly 1440x900p monitor

it's a bummer there's no 60fps 480p option

20th century is 1901-2000

Yes, 480p would look very nice on a CRT.

why don't you set your monitor size to 800x600 and see how fucking happy you are complaining piece of shit

that definition makes no sense

>not knowing high-res crts exist

Regards, wikipedia

1900s = 1900-1999
20th century = 1901-2000

It has to be that way because there is no year zero, only year 1.

"1900" is a year though, there are 365 days between "1900" and "1901", like any other year

I know high res CRTs exist but i never seen one

>tfw 20 mbit/s shitty internet and only 5 reach my room because repeater

And so I watch most videos on 720p

you've never seen a CRT computer monitor?
are you 12?

yes and it belongs to the 19th century

I mean a 1080p CRT

up to 1200p wasn't uncommon
i had a 1024p one in 2000

They could push it pretty far, I could probly get over 1200p on mine but not with a proper refresh. You didn't so much get the aspect ratios you do today.

I only watch >480p when I need to see small details. Otherwise its just a waste of bandwidth.

>waste of bandwidth.
do you have a cap?
i'm in ausfailia and even i don't have a cap

It's not even necessary to watch the videos user but when I do I always pick the highest resolution even if it exceeds my screen resolution.

>why
because I have unlimited transfer
because I have connection that is fast enough to watch 4K
because I have hardware that is fast enough 4K

>do you have a cap?
That's a given assumption.

A thread died for this.
I'm going to go and watch a 4k video on youtube now because doing so doesn't hurt me in the slightest.

if i had a cap i'd be using 480p a lot more often

but i don't, so i use the highest i can when not downloading something else at the same time

...

>hook attached from the outside of the mouth
that's impressive, fish

Year 1 started the 1st century.
Year 101 started the 2nd century
Year 1901 started the 20th century

The better bitrate does make a difference though.

starting at 1 instead of 0 is archaic

>his browser doesnt support 1080p video playback

I usually watch in 480p, lol :^) Especially useful on laptop, makes it run lcooler.

Year 0 didn't exist in the first place.

Higher resolution allows for higher bandwith on youtube and makes sound quality 2x better.

Sure it did, it was right before year 1.

10/1is the best I can get. 720p on a x1600 kills me inside.

>makes sound quality 2x better.
irrelevant if you use another player
youtube delivers video and audio in separate streams, so you can easily pair highest quality audio with lower quality video

Well I don't use another player.
Checkmate, faggot.

No, that's y1 B.c

I live on a shithole 3rd world country and with my internet service I have download speeds of 50kbps (really, it's not a typo) so I generally use 360p.

When I need more details I change to 480p, and sometimes to 720p for specific parts to read text on videos. I haven't watched a YT video without waiting for it to load in a long time.

>youtube delivers video and audio in separate streams

If you go out of your way to do this, then yes this is possible. In some ocassions it'll serve mp4 wrapped content, there video and audio is predefined.

>dialup
>2017
impressive

Shut up LQ pleb
I have 1080p on auto.

Because people rarely watch YouTube shit in fullscreen on desktop. You'd normally use around 20% of your screen for the actual video. I always watch videos in 480p and there's no blurriness.

No, it really does fetch video and audio seperately by default. My nightly firefox had an issue where it occasionally wouldn't fetch the audio stream of the video and it was mute until I refreshed the page, other tabs had working audio. This happened a total of 3 times in a single day but the issue disappeared after 2 updates.

>everything
try harder next time

>Because people rarely watch YouTube shit in fullscreen on desktop
really? what's the point in that?
as far as i'm concerned, you're either watching the video or you're not

Youtube's 1080p have such low bitrate that if I wanted to watch a windowed video I'd pick 1080p, if I want to watch fullscreen on a 1080p, I'd pick 2160p.

>internet too slow to watch 4k YouTube
>They changed the streaming so you can't even bigger the whole video, making it impossible to watch the whole thing in one sitting without pausing and waiting for more to buffer
Literally what the fuck

Not quite, Youtube has max of 192k. For 360p,480p, its 128k. About 50% more bitrate, not 200%.

>TFW pulled 1900x1440 CRT from recycling at work
>Works perfectly fine

i watch starcraft on youtube. anything below 1080p is shit. seriously.

i think you are a faggot and you are confusing 480p on a tv standing 10 feet away. then i would agree the difference is small. but on youtube difference between 720p and 1080p is massive. especially if you have a 4k or 1440p monitor.

I watch everything in 720p. movies, tv shows, everything. when x265 becomes mainstream, Ill switch to 1080p

because I can

I use an ultrawide, so I can watch videos in fullscreen on one half of the monitor while still doing stuff on the other half.

>1080p video is a slideshow using blurry 400x300 images
