Why would you tolerate 144p on YouTube?

Why would you tolerate 144p on YouTube?

Because you only had a 128kbps ADSL connection

I don't.
I watch 360p.

Music

Why would you load the video at all then when you can just play the audio stream?

Nobody does this.
That shit is literally unwatchable

Third world countries do probably.

livestreams are only offered as combined audio and video

Burgers better get used to it.

Missionary in Uganda here, can confirm.
All there is is 2G, occasionally 3G spots, 144p is a godsend (no pun intended).

>Third world countries do probably.
Lots of 3rd word countries have better internet than the U.S. actually.

You realize that the sound codec also gets downsampled? IIRC at 144p it's a 32kbps OGG.

until 2012 i had a 1Mbps connection, and even that allowed 360-480p. so i guess rural ireland and rust belt america with satellite/dialup connections

not really
You have to be living for out from a city to even have problems

Must be a living hell.

This angers and confuses the wannabe audiophile

No, I won't watch anything below 4K 60fps

Why would you want to listen to a live stream?

YouTube hasn't done that for years. The audio quality is constant now.

>tfw resolution is equal to refresh rate

>listening to a podcast while on bus and I'm using my own internet rather than shitty on bus wifi
That's basically it

Speedy speed boy

porn is better when its not hd funny enough
there is not enough makeup in the world to make some of their bodies attractive once the cameras got good.

Rustbelt user here (erie pa) and I have 1Gbps fiber internet service available

>tfw wanted to say I had speed like this 10+ years ago
>actually never had speed so shit ever since I got internet access
>tfw 300mbps up/down for less than 15 euros

I guess if I was using data on my phone to watch YouTube maybe (pic related but WiFi)

Rustbelt here. Midco catches some areas but it is almost exclusively 4G smartphones with no dedicated internet access in the home. Wifi really isn't common since all the small line of sight ISPs died out years ago.

>he watches 3DPD porn

If you mean places likePretoria/Cape town or huge south asian/chinese cities are the exception, most of 3rd world, especially rural parts of it are completely fucked when it comes to internet and you're lucky to get 2G. Eastern Europe is somewhat of an exception with this, mostly because between Baltic and Balkan there is aprox. 150mil slavs wanting to torrent 24/7.

How can you do it?

Same, grew up with dialup until I moved to the city and started working for an ISP, now I get free 200mbps down (only 6 up though, cant wait for DOCSIS 3.1)

Mpv. There already is a thread

because sometimes I just want to listen to an audiobook or some lecture, and don't really care for the audiovisual quality on it.

Where can I download 4k porn to try this for myself? I promise it's just for research purposes.

le research purposes xDDD 9gag

Thanks man

4k porn is just upscaled 1080. there's no noticeable difference.

I'm glad you got advice, try to advise another user in the future as payment.

720p was enough that the porn stars had to start using body makeup, I mean at 1080p you are able to count the hairs on their crotch growing back in, see when they do a quick shave job to get on set or in the better cases, count the pimples on their asses.

I don't watch irl porn, granted some photography is good, some fetish material out of japan like lotion play may be worth looking at, but mostly its all 2d shit for me.

its fine with a monitor that has low enough res for it. you can watch videos on retro devices with it

Some of us are American

>Eastern Europe is somewhat of an exception with this, mostly because between Baltic and Balkan there is aprox. 150mil slavs wanting to torrent 24/7.
This. I don't fucking know how I can have a cheap 100Mbps connection that almost never slows down or cuts out when my society hasn't mastered not drowning in trash yet. And everyone torrents tv shows even though they can watch the same ones in HD via IPTV that usually comes packaged with their internet connection. Guess people want to have S05E11 of the big bang theory on disk so they can save that extraordinary cultural treasure in case there is a nuclear war.

When I play games I'll go to youtube, turn on the latest Brian Lunduke podcast, turn the quality to 144p and play my online game on my ps4 without lag. I don't need to have the video at 1080p because I'm only listening to what Lunduke has to say and watching my game. This way I don't use up my data.

Because some youtube videos are very old and I don't know how to make them clearer.

If there was literally no other option.

Anyway, This is only a test post.
