I suspect two factors:
1) Livestreaming can have very poor quality when bandwidth constrained (e.g. at an overloaded cell site at a rally)
2) Viral videos get reencoded many times in many formats. The cumulative encoding errors are not only limited by the lowest quality reencode, but also by the defects in all previous encodes with various codecs.
