It’ll keep continuing until you get one FPS and no audio without paying for premium.
Ooooh, learning Godot? Best of luck, it is an absolutely fantastic engine.
Of all the problems with YouTube, this isn’t one of them. It’s reasonable for a free service to offer premium features such as this. If you upload in higher resolutions, people still get free access to those and even if your screen is 1080p, watching in 4K gives you higher bitrate.
Enshittification doesn’t mean adding new features and charging for them. It means changing the existing service to make it worse, to encourage people to pay for subscriptions.
This is why you cannot take cries about enshittyfication seriously.
Anytime any company does something (sensible) you hear that. It almost never fits. And when it does the word has lost its efficacy
What a completely wrong comment. Wow. It’s so perfect in its wrongness. It’s almost breathtaking.
YouTube adding a higher quality feed does not degrade the service. I don’t know how to put this in planer language.
Serving video is expensive. Serving high Bitrate video is extremely expensive. Storage costs have stopped scaling. Do you want them to provide a sustainable service or run at a loss to hike prices later when competition died? That’s not how YT operates. They are profitability and creator revenue first.
They made bad choices with shorts, sure.
